Rabbit Anti-CPVL/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
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 alternatively spliced transcripts which encode the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
May be involved in the digestion of phagocytosed particles in the lysosome, participation in an inflammatory protease cascade, and trimming of peptides for antigen presentation.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in macrophages but not in other leukocytes. Abundantly expressed in heart and kidney. Also expressed in spleen, leukocytes, and placenta.
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase S10 family.
