Prcp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable dipeptidyl-peptidase activity and metallocarboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in angiogenesis involved in wound healing; regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; plasma kallikrein-kinin cascade; and regulation of thyroid hormone receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in basal part of cell and lysosome. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Biomarker of brain infarction. Orthologous to human PRCP (prolylcarboxypeptidase).

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