Mouse Anti-Porcine Carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) is a member of the carboxypeptidase family of exopeptidases, which are enzymes that cleave the C-terminal amino acids from peptides and proteins. CPA1, in particular, is known for its role in the final stages of protein digestion, where it removes C-terminal aromatic amino acid residues, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, from polypeptide chains. As a molecular target, CPA1 is significant due to its involvement in the digestive process, which is essential for the absorption of nutrients. It has potential applications in the development of therapeutic strategies for conditions related to protein digestion and absorption, such as certain gastrointestinal disorders or in the context of dietary management for specific metabolic conditions.
