| 11. | This mechanism ensures that the cells wherein pro-carboxypeptidase A is produced are not themselves digested.
|
| 12. | For example, many enzymes are metal complexes, like carboxypeptidase, a hydrolytic enzyme important in digestion.
|
| 13. | Second, a carboxypeptidase removes the Lys / Arg residues leaving Gly as the C-terminal residue.
|
| 14. | "' Procarboxypeptidase "'is a precursor ( zymogen ) to the pancreatic enzyme carboxypeptidase.
|
| 15. | Within cells, carboxypeptidase E is present in the secretory granules along with its peptide substrates and products.
|
| 16. | Classified as a metalloexopeptidase, carboxypeptidase A consists of a single polypeptide chain bound to a zinc ion.
|
| 17. | Although the tubulin carboxypeptidase has yet to be identified, its activity was first identified in the late 1970s.
|
| 18. | Thrombomodulin functions as a thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor ( TAFI, aka carboxypeptidase B2 ) into its active form.
|
| 19. | When it is activated by proteolysis at residue Arg92 by the thrombin / thrombomodulin complex, CPB2 exhibits carboxypeptidase activity.
|
| 20. | For example, a drug that treats high blood pressure, Captopril, was designed based on a carboxypeptidase A inhibitor.
