Summary: This gene encodes a member of the carboxypeptidase A family of zinc metalloproteases and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a mature protein product. This product is released by mast cells and may be involved in the degradation of endogenous proteins and the inactivation of venom-associated peptides. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired mast cell development. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Disruption of the mast cell carboxypeptidase A3 gene does not attenuate airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in two mouse models of asthma.
Title: Disruption of the mast cell carboxypeptidase A3 gene does not attenuate airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in two mouse models of asthma.
The goal of the current study was to compare bone repair in normal wild type and Cpa3Cre/+ mice, which lack mast cells in the absence of any other hematopoietic or non- hematopoietic deficiencies. Mast cells appear in healing bone of wild type mice but not Cpa3Cre/+ mice, beginning 14 days after surgery. Re-vascularization of repair tissue and deposition of mineralized bone was delayed and dis-organised in Cpa3Cre/+ mice

Mast cells in experimental arthritis contained high levels of mMC-CPA mRNA, and also lacked the exopeptidase.

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.
