basic FUNCTION
| cleaving substrates with C terminal hydrophobic residues, and has a preference for large hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids as well as histidine |
|
cleaves the C-terminal residue from a range of substrates, including small synthetic substrates, larger peptides, and proteins |
|
role for CPA6 in the regulation of neuropeptides in the extracellular environment within the olfactory bulb and other parts of the brain |
|
having functions in the cleavage of amino acids from the C termini of a variety of peptide and protein substrates |
|
extracellular matrix-bound metallocarboxypeptidase, having a role in the cleavage of large hydrophobic amino acids |
|
having a preference for large hydrophobic C-terminal amino acids and only very weak activity toward small amino acids and histidine |
|
may play a role in developmental processes in the embryon but also in the adult |
|
because CPA6 is present in the ECM and expressed during development, it is possible that it processes proteins or peptides involved in morphogenesis |
