Gene information for CPA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51200
Official gene symbolCPA4
Full namecarboxypeptidase A4
Aliases,CPA3,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the carboxypeptidase A/B subfamily, and it is located in a cluster with three other family members on chromosome 7. Carboxypeptidases are zinc-containing exopeptidases that catalyze the release of carboxy-terminal amino acids, and are synthesized as zymogens that are activated by proteolytic cleavage. This gene could be involved in the histone hyperacetylation pathway. It is imprinted and may be a strong candidate gene for prostate cancer aggressiveness. [provided by RefSeq]
