Cpa6

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the metallocarboxypeptidase family of proteins that catalyze the release of a C-terminal amino acid from the target protein. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic cleavage to yield the mature form which is thought to play a role in cell migration. In humans, this protein regulates neuropeptides in the brain and mutations in this gene are associated with a recessive familial form of febrile seizures and with temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

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 Cpa6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
