Carboxypeptidase A5 is an
enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPA5gene.[5][6]
Carboxypeptidases have functions ranging from digestion of food to selective
biosynthesis of
neuroendocrine peptides. Members of the A/B subfamily of carboxypeptidases, such as CPA5, contain an approximately 90-
amino acid pro region that assists in the folding of the active carboxypeptidase domain. Cleavage of the pro region activates the enzyme (Wei et al., 2002).[supplied by OMIM][6]
