Gene Symbol | CPA2 |
Entrez Gene ID | 232680 |
Full Name | carboxypeptidase A2, pancreatic |
General protein information |
|
Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(House mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a member of the carboxypeptidase A family of zinc metalloproteases. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing that removes the N-terminal activation peptide to generate a functional enzyme. This gene is expressed by the pancreatic exocrine cells which secrete the enzyme during digestion. This gene is located in a cluster of carboxypeptidase genes on chromosome 6.
