Protein Function
Similar to that of carboxypeptidase A (EC 3.4.17.1), but with a preference for bulkier C-terminal residues.
Background
Carboxypeptidase A2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPA2 gene. This gene is mapped to 7q32.2. Three different forms of human pancreatic procarboxypeptidase A have been isolated. The encoded protein represents the A2 form, which is a monomeric protein with different biochemical properties from the A1 and A3 forms. The A2 form of pancreatic procarboxypeptidase acts on aromatic C-terminal residues and is a secreted protein.
