MeSH definition : 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.;
