MeSH Heading: Carboxypeptidase B2
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.656.350.245.125; D08.811.277.656.350.555.225; D08.811.277.656.675.555.225; D08.811.277.656.837.092
Unique ID: D025901
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D025901
Scope Note: A carboxypeptidase that removes C-terminal lysine or arginine from peptides and proteins. Carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2) is released into the circulation as a proenzyme which is activated by the THROMBIN-THROMBOMODULIN complex. Activated CPB2 is involved in modulating a variety of processes by cleaving and inactivating various circulating proteins and peptides that are its substrates including FIBRIN; KININS; and ANAPHYLATOXINS.
Entry Term(s): Arginine Carboxypeptidase; Carboxypeptidase B2, Plasma; Carboxypeptidase R; Carboxypeptidase U; Plasma Procarboxypeptidase B; Procarboxypeptidase U; Thrombin-Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor; Thrombin-Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFI)
