Summary
This gene encodes a member of the carboxypeptidase A family of zinc metalloproteases that could be involved in the histone hyperacetylation pathway. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing that removes the N-terminal activation peptide to generate a functional enzyme. This gene is located in a cluster of carboxypeptidase genes on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
