CPE encodes a member of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptidase. This peripheral membrane protein cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, including insulin.Carboxypeptidase E may also function independently of its peptidase activity, as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neuronal survival, and as a sorting receptor that binds to regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones. Mutations in CPE are implicated in type 2 diabetes. 蛋白别名为：CPE; Carboxypeptidase E; CPE; Carboxypeptidase H; CPH; Enkephalin convertase; Prohormone-processing carboxypeptidase;基因ID为：1363；蛋白质ID:P16870
