Carboxypeptidase A Use and Manufacturing

Carboxypeptidase A(CPA) is an enzyme of the digestive system that is known to cleave amino acids favouring the C-terminal end as well as certain esters. This enzymatic activity depends on the metal at the catalytic site. Zn
2+
and some Co
2+
-containing CPAs exhibit peptidase function, whilst esterase function has been seen by CPAs containing a variety of divalent d-block metals. CPA has a size similar to CA, consisting of about 300 amino acids and a molecular mass of 34 kDa.
