Acquisition of new function through gene duplication in the metallocarboxypeptidase family
2023-01-03
Abstract excerpt
Gene duplication is a key first step in the process of expanding the functionality of a multigene family. In order to better understand the process of gene duplication and its role in the formation of new enzymes, we investigated recent duplication events in the M14 family of proteolytic enzymes. Within vertebrates, four of 23 M14 genes were frequently found in duplicate form. While AEBP1, CPXM1, and CPZ genes wer...
