Introduction for Carboxypeptidase B
Carboxypeptidase B (E.C. 3.4.17.2) was first discovered and isolated by Folk in 1960 in the pancreas of pigs and cattle. It is a class of digestive enzymes that can hydrolyze the substrate C-terminal arginine and lysine, synthesized in the form of inactive enzymes in the pancreas, each molecule contains a Zn atom, selectively hydrolyzed proteins and amino acids containing the carboxyl terminus of the polypeptide, its basic function is to decompose the peptides produced by trypsin degradation proteins, because the hydrolyzed amino acids are basic amino acids, carboxypeptidase B was initially named alkaline carboxypeptidase, in order to distinguish it from the earlier discovery of carboxypeptidase A, and finally renamed it carboxypeptidase B. Alkaline carboxypeptidase is also found in other tissues, such as the liver, lungs, intestines, brain, etc. [1].
Our carboxypeptidase B is recombinant expression by Pichia yeast without any tags, the theoretical molecular weight is 35kDa, the optimal digestion pH is 7.5~8.5, and the optimal digestion temperature is 37°C>. At a certain temperature (<60°C), enzyme cleavage activity can increase with increasing temperature. Recombinant carboxypeptidase B activity was inhibited by metal chelating agents such as EDTA, Cu2+, and Hg2+, while metal ions such as Zn2+ and Mn2+ could increase enzyme activity to varying degrees.
Applications of carboxypeptidase B
In the field of medical pharmaceuticals, CPB has the biological characteristic of preferentially cutting basic amino acids, so it can be used in the production of recombinant insulin products and participate in the digestion of proinsulin as an important tool enzyme [2]. 02Food manufacturing In the field of food manufacturing, it can be used to prepare high F-value oligopeptides.
the removal of ochratmycin from food and feed and the debittering of soybean protein hydrolysate [3].
In the field of biotechnology, carboxypeptidase B can be used to determine the synthesis of peptides and the amino acid sequence of peptides, and can also be used as a specific model enzyme, such as the design of zinc protease-specific inhibitors, to provide relevant help to other types of enzymes.
