| Comments | Pro-carboxypeptidase U in (human) plasma is activated by thrombin or plasmin during clotting to form the unstable carboxypeptidase U, with activity similar to that of the more stable lysine carboxypeptidase, except that no preference is shown for Lys over Arg. A zinc enzyme, in peptidase family?M14?(carboxypeptidase A family). |
| Cofactor | Zn2+ |
| History | |
| Reactions | Release of C-terminal Arg and Lys from a polypeptide. |
