Function

Cleaves C-terminal arginine or lysine residues from biologically active peptides such as kinins or anaphylatoxins in the circulation thereby regulating their activities. Down-regulates fibrinolysis by removing C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin that has already been partially degraded by plasmin.

Post-translational modifications

N-glycosylated. N-glycan at Asn-108: Hex5HexNAc4.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M14 family.

Tissue specificity

Plasma; synthesized in the liver.

Cellular localization

  • Secreted

Alternative names

Carboxypeptidase B2, Carboxypeptidase U, Plasma carboxypeptidase B, Thrombin-activable fibrinolysis inhibitor, CPU, pCPB, TAFI, CPB2
