Symbol: CPA2
Full name: carboxypeptidase A2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
