NCIt definition : Carboxypeptidase E-deltaN (382 aa, 43 kDa) is encoded by the human CPE gene. This
protein is involved in the mediation of proteolysis.;
NCIt note : Carboxypeptidase E-deltaN results from alternative splicing of the CPE gene that has
an alternative start site in exon 1 and an alternative stop in exon 9. Expression
of this protein may be a biomarker for tumor metastasis. (J Clin Invest. doi:10.1172/JCI40433.);
