General description

CPM (carboxypeptidase M) is an extracellular glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored membrane glycoprotein. It belongs to the regulatory or CPN/E subfamily of zinc metallocarboxypeptidases. It consists of a catalytic domain at the N-terminal end, conically shaped β-sandwich C-terminal domain characteristic of the CPN/E family and C-terminal extension to which the GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) membrane-anchor is post-translationally attached.

Immunogen

Carboxypeptidase M precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-CPM antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CPM (carboxypeptidase M) specifically acts in the removal of C-terminal basic residues from peptides and proteins. It may regulate the peptide hormone and growth factor activity at the cell surface, and the membrane-localized degradation of extracellular proteins.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

This review covers carboxypeptidase M (CPM) research that appeared in the literature since 2009. The focus is on aspects that are new or interesting from a clinical perspective. Available research tools are discussed as well as their pitfalls and limitations.

Carboxypeptidase M (CPM), an extracellular glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol(GPI)-anchored membrane glycoprotein belonging to the CPN/E subfamily of "regulatory" metallo-carboxypeptidases, specifically removes C-terminal basic residues from peptides and proteins. Due to its wide distribution in human tissues, CPM is believed to play important roles
Fulong Tan et al.
The Biochemical journal, 370(Pt 2), 567-578 (2002-11-30)
Human carboxypeptidase (CP) M was expressed in baculovirus-infected insect cells in a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored form, whereas a truncated form, lacking the putative signal sequence for glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring, was secreted at high levels into the medium. Both forms had lower molecular masses
