3.4.16.2 | alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone + H2O |
evidence is provided that in mice, PRCP degrades alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone to an inactive form that is unable to inhibit food intake |
3.4.16.2 | alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone + H2O |
using recombinant PRCP it is shown that PRCP removes the C-terminal amino acid of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone1-13, producing alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone1-12, which is not neuroactive |

overexpression of prolylcarboxypeptidase enhances plasma prekallikrein activation on Chinese hamster ovary cells |
3.4.16.2 | more |
the enzyme is a plasma prekallikrein activator |
3.4.16.2 | YPRPIHPA + H2O |
using a peptidomic approach a single peptide YPRPIHPA is identified as a novel substrate for PRCP in human cerebrospinal fluid. The peptide YPRPIHPA is from the extracellular portion of human endothelin B receptor like protein 2 |
