CPA3 - carboxypeptidase A3 Gene
Also Known as MC-CPA
Species: Homo sapiens
About CPA3
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 143 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Biased expression in gall bladder (RPKM 74.3), lung (RPKM 46.6) and 11 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Carboxypeptidase A family of zinc metalloproteases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a mature protease that is released by mast cells and may be involved in the degradation of endogenous proteins and the inactivation of venom-associated peptides. Expression of this gene may be elevated in human asthma patients. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
