Carboxypeptidases in disease: Insights from peptidomic studies

Abstract excerpt

Carboxypeptidases (CPs) perform many diverse physiological functions by removing C-terminal amino acids from proteins and peptides. Some CPs function in the degradation of proteins in the digestive tract while other enzymes play biosynthetic roles in the formation of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. Another set of CPs modify tubulin by removing amino acids from the C-terminus and from polyglutamyl side chains,...
