Peptidase M14 carboxypeptidase subfamily A/B-like; Carboxypeptidase B subgroup. Peptidase M14 Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) belongs to the carboxypeptidase A/B subfamily of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases (MCPs). The M14 family are zinc-binding CPs which hydrolyze single, C-terminal amino acids from polypeptide chains, and have a recognition site for the free C-terminal carboxyl group, which is a key determinant of specificity. Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) enzymes only cleave the basic residues lysine or arginine. A/B subfamily enzymes are normally synthesized as inactive precursors containing preceding signal peptide, followed by a globular N-terminal pro-region linked to the enzyme; these proenzymes are called procarboxypeptidases. The procarboxypeptidase B (PCPB) is produced by the exocrine pancreas and stored as stable zymogen in the pancreatic granules until secretion into the digestive tract occurs. PCPB has been reported to be a good serum marker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and graft rejection in pancreas transplant recipients.
