Descriptor carboxipeptidasa H
Entry term(s) carboxipeptidasa E
Scope note: Exopeptidasa que contiene ZINC y se encuentra principalmente en las VESÍCULAS SECRETORAS de las células endocrinas y neuroendocrinas. Cataliza la escisión de los residuos de ARGININA o LISINA C-terminales de los polipéptidos y es activa en la transformación de precursores de HORMONAS PEPTÍDICAS y otros péptidos bioactivos.
