1. The carboxypeptidase family includes metallo-, serine, and cysteine carboxypeptidases. 2. Carboxypeptidase D has been identified as a regulatory B-type carboxypeptidase.3. Carboxypeptidase D has been identified as a regulatory B-type carboxypeptidase . 4. Carboxypeptidase cleaves peptide linkages during digestion of proteins.5. The conversion of procarboxypeptidase to carboxypeptidase is autocatalyzed. 6. At the C-terminus Carboxypeptidase E then removes the terminal lysine and arginine residues. 7. Carboxypeptidase E is a glycoprotein that exists in both membrane-associated and soluble forms.8. Mice with mutant carboxypeptidase E, Cpe fat, display endocrine disorders like obesity and infertility. 9. Latexin is the only mammalian carboxypeptidase inhibitor, although TIG1's proteolytic activity remains unexplored. 10. The protein encoded by this gene is activated by thrombin and acts on carboxypeptidase B substrates.
