GENE SUMMARY
The protein encoded by this gene is a carboxypeptidase and bears strong sequence similarity to serine carboxypeptidases. Carboxypeptidases are a large class of proteases that act to cleave a single amino acid from the carboxy termini of proteins or peptides. The exact function of this protein, however, has not been determined. At least two altertively spliced transcripts which encode the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
