CPE Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-CPE Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

CPE encodes a member of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptidase. This peripheral membrane protein cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, including insulin. Carboxypeptidase E may also function independently of its peptidase activity, as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neuronal survival, and as a sorting receptor that binds to regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones. Mutations in CPE are implicated in type 2 diabetes.
