CPA6 蛋白

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of carboxypeptidases, which catalyze the release of C-terminal amino acid, and have functions ranging from digestion of food to selective biosynthesis of neuroendocrine peptides. Polymorphic variants and a reciprocal translocation t(6\;8)(q26\;q13) involving this gene, have been associated with Duane retraction syndrome.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010].
