PPY2P
Description
The PPY2P (pancreatic polypeptide 2, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 17.
PPY2P is a gene that encodes a prolylcarboxypeptidase, an enzyme that removes proline residues from the carboxyl terminus of peptides. It plays a role in protein processing and maturation.
PPY2P, also known as prolylcarboxypeptidase, is a peptidase involved in the processing and maturation of peptides. It is a member of the carboxypeptidase family, which are characterized by their ability to remove C-terminal amino acid residues from peptides. Specifically, PPY2P preferentially cleaves proline residues from the carboxyl terminus of peptides. This enzymatic activity suggests that PPY2P plays a role in various biological processes, including protein degradation, peptide signaling, and the regulation of physiological functions. Further research is needed to fully understand the precise roles of PPY2P in human biology.
PPY2P is also known as PPY2.
