carboxypeptidase-X; M14 family; metallocarboxypeptidase CPX-1 (CPXM, CPXM1)

Function

• may be involved in cell-cell interactions
• no carboxypeptidase activity (putative)

Cofactor: binds 1 Zn+2 per subunit (putative)

Structure

• belongs to the peptidase M14 family
• contains 1 F5/8 type C domain

Compartment

secreted (putative)

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2

Notes

• may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

More general terms

• carboxypeptidase
• glycoprotein
