Cpn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bradykinin catabolic process; protein processing; and response to glucocorticoid. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; liver; neural tube; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carboxypeptidase N deficiency. Orthologous to human CPN1 (carboxypeptidase N subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cpn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
