Description

carboxypeptidase E

Gene Summary

Enables carboxypeptidase activity; cobalt ion binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; generation of neurons; and peptide hormone processing. Located in several cellular components, including dense core granule; perikaryon; and synaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; coronary artery disease; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CPE (carboxypeptidase E).
