Carboxypeptidase Q (Q9WVJ3)

Uniprot ID Q9WVJ3
Protein Name Carboxypeptidase Q
Gene Name Cpq
Species Mus musculus (Mouse)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.583
Function Carboxypeptidase that may play an important role in the hydrolysis of circulating peptides. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of dipeptides with unsubstituted terminals into amino acids. May play a role in the liberation of thyroxine hormone from its thyroglobulin (Tg) precursor (By similarity). .

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
