Carboxypeptidase U.
based on mapping to UniProt Q96IY4
Release of C-terminal Arg and Lys from a polypeptide.
-!- Pro-carboxypeptidase U in plasma is activated by thrombin or plasmin during clotting to form the unstable carboxypeptidase U. -!- Activity similar to that of the more stable lysine carboxypeptidase, except no preference is shown for Lys over Arg. -!- Belongs to peptidase family M14.
