CPM (gene)

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound arginine/lysine carboxypeptidase. Its expression is associated with monocyte to macrophage differentiation. This encoded protein contains hydrophobic regions at the amino and carboxy termini and has 6 potential asparagine-linked glycosylation sites. The active site residues of carboxypeptidases A and B are conserved in this protein. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.[6]

gollark: Why would they not know about bee documentation book #35636?
gollark: I mean, you can have a system without... any optional dependency, yes.
gollark: Useful!
gollark: Partitions are quite irritating to resize, so you're stuck with however much storage you thought each thing would need (including a dedicated one for X11 for some reason?) and you can't use it as efficiently as with just / and /home or something.
gollark: It seems inflexible and annoying.
