Sequencing and cloning of human prolylcarboxypeptidase (angiotensinase C). Similarity to both serine carboxypeptidase and prolylendopeptidase families
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
Prolylcarboxypeptidase, a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase, cleaves COOH-terminal amino acids linked to proline, as in angiotensin II and III and [des-Arg9] bradykinin. About 25% of the enzyme protein was sequenced, and the complete sequence was deduced from its human kidney cDNA. The cDNA insert contained an open reading frame of 1488 base pairs coding for a protein of 496 residues. The authentic NH2-terminal...
