High impact information on CPA3

 

Biological context of CPA3

  • Thus, in the carboxypeptidase gene family, MC-CPA displays a unique genealogy and several amino acid replacements in its S1' binding pocket that result in substrate specificity quite similar to bovine CPA [2].
  • We noted two consensus N-linked glycosylation sites in human MC-CPA that are not found in rat and mouse MC-CPA, or in bovine CPA; that at least one of these sites is glycosylated in vivo was verified by N-glycosidase F treatment, lentil lectin binding, and Concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography [2].
