Description
Product Characteristics:
Latexin, a protein possessing inhibitory activity against rat carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) and CPA2, is expressed in a neuronal subset in the cerebral cortex and cells in other neural and non-neural tissues of rat. Although latexin also inhibits mast-cell CPA (MCCPA), the expression of latexin in rat mast cells has not previously been confirmed.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: Latexin, ECI, Endogenous carboxypeptidase inhibitor, Latexin, Latexin protein, MUM, TCI, Tissue carboxypeptidase inhibitor.
Target Information: This gene encodes the only known protein inhibitor of zinc-dependent metallocarboxypeptidases. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
