Gene information for CPA5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID93979
Official gene symbolCPA5
Full namecarboxypeptidase A5
Aliases,FLJ35969,
Gene summaryCarboxypeptidases have functions ranging from digestion of food to selective biosynthesis of neuroendocrine peptides. Members of the A/B subfamily of carboxypeptidases, such as CPA5, contain an approximately 90-amino acid pro region that assists in the folding of the active carboxypeptidase domain. Cleavage of the pro region activates the enzyme (Wei et al., 2002 [PubMed 11836249]).[supplied by OMIM]
