Native Human CPB2

• Cat.No.: CPB2-27270TH
• Product Overview: Full length native protein , corresponding to amino acids 23-423 of Human Carboxypeptidase B2.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 400 amino acids
• Description: Carboxypeptidases are enzymes that hydrolyze C-terminal peptide bonds. The carboxypeptidase family includes metallo-, serine, and cysteine carboxypeptidases. According to their substrate specificity, these enzymes are referred to as carboxypeptidase A (cleaving aliphatic residues) or carboxypeptidase B (cleaving basic amino residues). The protein encoded by this gene is activated by trypsin and acts on carboxypeptidase B substrates. After thrombin activation, the mature protein downregulates fibrinolysis. Polymorphisms have been described for this gene and its promoter region. Available sequence data analyses indicate splice variants that encode different isoforms.
• Biological activity: Specific Activity: 2.0-9.2 units/mg. Specific activity is determined by a kinetic assay using Hippuryl-L-Arginine as substrate.One unit equals one micromole of Hippuryl-L-Arginine hyrolyzed per minute.Specific activity is reported in Units per milligram.
