Function
Protects the body from potent vasoactive and inflammatory peptides containing C-terminal Arg or Lys (such as kinins or anaphylatoxins) which are released into the circulation.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted, extracellular space
Tissue Specificity: Synthesized in the liver and secreted in plasma
Disease Association: Carboxypeptidase N deficiency (CPND) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by angioedema, acute or chronic urticaria, and hay fever or asthma. Affected individuals have levels of carboxypeptidase N below the reference range. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
