medicine | tumor cells of renal cell carcinoma subtypes lose carboxypeptidase M expression upon dedifferentiation. There is a correlation between low carboxypeptidase M expression and tumor cell type. Carboxypeptidase M staining is intense on phagocytotic tumor-associated macrophages, and enzyme is also detected in the tumor-associated vasculature. Coexistence of carboxypeptidase M and the epidermal growth factor receptor is detected in papillary renal cell carcinoma | Homo sapiens |

kidney | broad distribution of enzyme along the renal tubular structures in the healthy kidney.Carboxypeptidase M is identified at the parietal epithelium beneath the Bowman's basement membrane and in glomerular mesangial cells. Capillaries, podocytes, and most interstitial cells are CPM negative | Homo sapiens | - |
