Summary | This gene encodes carboxypeptidase B, a zinc-dependent metalloprotease that cleaves peptide bonds at the C-terminus of protein substrates. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic activation to generate a mature, functional enzyme, and secreted into plasma. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]. |
