FunFam 1: Carboxypeptidase B

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Carboxypeptidase A. [EC: 3.4.17.1]
Release of a C-terminal amino acid, but little or no action with -Asp, -Glu, -Arg, -Lys or -Pro.
  • Isolated from cattle, pig and dogfish pancreas, and other sources including mast cells and skeletal muscle.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M14.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.2.1 and EC 3.4.12.2.

Carboxypeptidase B. [EC: 3.4.17.2]
Preferential release of a C-terminal lysine or arginine amino acid.
  • Isolated from cattle, pig and dogfish pancreas, and other sources, including skin fibroblasts and adrenal medulla.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M14.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.2.2 and EC 3.4.12.3.

Carboxypeptidase U. [EC: 3.4.17.20]
Release of C-terminal Arg and Lys from a polypeptide.
  • Pro-carboxypeptidase U in plasma is activated by thrombin or plasmin during clotting to form the unstable carboxypeptidase U.
  • Activity similar to that of the more stable lysine carboxypeptidase, except no preference is shown for Lys over Arg.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M14.

Carboxypeptidase A2. [EC: 3.4.17.15]
Similar to that of carboxypeptidase A (EC 3.4.17.1), but with a preference for bulkier C-terminal residues.
  • Isolated from rat pancreas but not present in cattle pancreas.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M14.
