Abstract excerpt
Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is an important enzyme responsible for the proteolytic processing of prohormone intermediates. A naturally occurring point mutation, leading to an accumulation of many neuroendocrine peptides has been characterized within exon 5 of the CPE gene in mice. In the present study the sequence of the cDNA for the porcine CPE gene including all the coding region and the 3'-UTR region was...
