CPA5
Description
The CPA5 (carboxypeptidase A5) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
CPA5 is a human gene that encodes the enzyme carboxypeptidase A5. Carboxypeptidases are a family of enzymes with diverse functions, ranging from food digestion to the controlled synthesis of neuroendocrine peptides. CPA5 belongs to the A/B subfamily of carboxypeptidases, characterized by a pro region, a sequence of about 90 amino acids that assists in the correct folding of the active carboxypeptidase domain. This pro region acts as a regulator, and its removal activates the enzyme.
CPA5, also known as Carboxypeptidase A5, is an enzyme involved in various biological processes, including digestion and the production of neuroendocrine peptides. Its function is regulated by a pro region, a sequence of approximately 90 amino acids that helps in folding the active carboxypeptidase domain. Cleavage of this pro region activates the enzyme, enabling its participation in these crucial physiological roles.
CPA5 is also known as -.
