NCIt synonyms : SCPN; Carboxypeptidase B, Serum Gene; Carboxypeptidase N, Polypeptide 1, 50kD Gene; Carboxypeptidase N Polypeptide 1 50 KD Gene; Carboxypeptidase N, Catalytic Subunit Gene; Carboxypeptidase N, Serum Gene; Carboxypeptidase N, Polypeptide 1 Gene; Carboxypeptidase N Subunit 1 wt Allele; CPN;
NCIt definition : Human CPN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10q24.2 and is approximately
40 kb in length. This allele, which encodes carboxypeptidase N catalytic chain protein,
plays a role in the deactivation of circulating bioactive peptides. Mutation of the
gene is associated with carboxypeptidase N deficiency.;
