Gene: CPM

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound arginine/lysine carboxypeptidase. Its expression is associated with monocyte to macrophage differentiation. This encoded protein contains hydrophobic regions at the amino and carboxy termini and has 6 potential asparagine-linked glycosylation sites. The active site residues of carboxypeptidases A and B are conserved in this protein. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q15

Description of this Gene: carboxypeptidase M

Type of Gene: protein-coding
