Gene information for CPZ (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8532
Official gene symbolCPZ
Full namecarboxypeptidase Z
Aliases,MGC99682,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the metallocarboxypeptidase family. This enzyme displays carboxypeptidase activity towards substrates with basic C-terminal residues. It is most active at neutral pH and is inhibited by active site-directed inhibitors of metallocarboxypeptidases. Alternative splicing in the coding region results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
