Protein-coding gene in humans
Carboxypeptidase Z is an
enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPZ
gene .
[5]
[6]
This 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 .
