PRCP

Function

Cleaves C-terminal amino acids linked to proline in peptides such as angiotensin II, III and des-Arg9-bradykinin. This cleavage occurs at acidic pH, but enzymatic activity is retained with some substrates at neutral pH.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S28 family.

Tissue Specificity

Highest levels in placenta, lung and liver. Also present in heart, brain, pancreas and kidney.

Cellular localization

Alternative names

PCP, PRCP, Lysosomal Pro-X carboxypeptidase, Angiotensinase C, Lysosomal carboxypeptidase C, Proline carboxypeptidase, Prolylcarboxypeptidase
