A zinc enzyme, in peptidase family M14 (carboxypeptidase A family)
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

arginine carboxypeptidase; carboxypeptidase R; plasma carboxypeptidase B (misleading, since the term carboxypeptidase B is used for other enzymes); thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor
Reaction
Release of C-terminal Arg and Lys from a polypeptide
