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 in mouse testes where the encoded protein is localized to the germ cells. This gene is located in a cluster of carboxypeptidase genes on chromosome 6.
