Background
carboxypeptidase M(CPM) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound arginine/lysine carboxypeptidase. Its expression is associated with monocyte to macrophage differentiation. This encoded protein contains hydrophobic regions at the amino and carboxy termini and has 6 potential asparagine-linked glycosylation sites. The active site residues of carboxypeptidases A and B are conserved in this protein. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.

Function
catalytic activity:Cleavage of C-terminal arginine or lysine residues from polypeptides.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by O-phenanthroline and MGTA and activated by cobalt.,function:Specifically removes C-terminal basic residues (Arg or Lys) from peptides and proteins. It is believed to play important roles in the control of peptide hormone and growth factor activity at the cell surface, and in the membrane-localized degradation of extracellular proteins.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M14 family.,
