Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bradykinin catabolic process; protein processing; and response to glucocorticoid. Predicted to act upstream of or within proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; liver; neural tube; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carboxypeptidase N deficiency. Orthologous to human CPN1 (carboxypeptidase N subunit 1).
