Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is an approximately 50.0 kDa human carboxypeptidase A2 with a His-flag. Carboxypeptidase A2 is a secreted pancreatic procarboxy -peptidase, and cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides.
- Species: Human

Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Description
Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is an approximately 50.0 kDa human carboxypeptidase A2 with a His-flag. Carboxypeptidase A2 is a secreted pancreatic procarboxy -peptidase, and cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides.
Background
There exists different forms of human pancreatic procarboxypeptidase A, and the A1 and A2 forms are always secreted as monomeric proteins with different biochemical properties[1].The hydrolytic action of CPA2 prefers towards long substrates with aromatic amino acids in their C-terminal end, particularly tryptophan. CPA2 comprises a signal peptide, a pro region and a mature chain, and can be activated after cleavage of the pro peptide[2].Carboxypeptidase A2 is a secreted pancreatic procarboxy-peptidase, and cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides that have a free C-terminal carboxyl group[1][2].

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
