Gene: CPD

Alternate names for this Gene: GP180

Gene Summary: The metallocarboxypeptidase family of enzymes is divided into 2 subfamilies based on sequence similarities. The pancreatic carboxypeptidase-like and the regulatory B-type carboxypeptidase subfamilies. Carboxypeptidase D has been identified as a regulatory B-type carboxypeptidase. CPD is a homolog of duck gp180, a hepatitis B virus-binding protein. Transcript variants utilizing alternative polyadenylation signals exist for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2

Description of this Gene: carboxypeptidase D
