Carboxypeptidase B

Description:
Carboxypeptidase B (CAS 9025-24-5) is a serine protease enzyme that plays a crucial role in protein digestion by catalyzing the hydrolysis of peptide bonds at the carboxyl-terminal end of proteins and peptides, specifically targeting basic amino acids like arginine and lysine. This enzyme is primarily found in the pancreas and is secreted into the small intestine, where it contributes to the final stages of protein digestion. Carboxypeptidase B is synthesized as an inactive precursor, procarboxypeptidase B, which is activated by trypsin. The enzyme operates optimally at physiological pH and temperature, reflecting its biological function. It is also characterized by its specificity for certain substrates and its ability to function in the presence of various metal ions, which can influence its activity. In addition to its digestive role, carboxypeptidase B has applications in biotechnology and research, particularly in protein engineering and the study of enzymatic mechanisms. Its activity can be influenced by inhibitors and activators, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological studies.
