Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** CPQ is a metalloprotease enzyme that exhibits carboxypeptidase activity, cleaving peptides at the carboxy-terminal end. Its structure consists of a zinc-binding site, essential for catalytic activity, and a homodimeric arrangement, facilitating protein-protein interactions. CPQ is also implicated in the regulation of thyroid hormone generation and tissue regeneration, highlighting its potential role in endocrine and developmental processes. **Pathways and Functions:** CPQ participates in various cellular pathways, including: 1. **Carboxypeptidase activity:** CPQ cleaves peptides at the carboxy-terminal end, contributing to protein degradation and the regulation of cellular signaling. 2. **Protein homodimerization:** CPQ interacts with other proteins, forming homodimers that may modulate enzyme activity, substrate specificity, or protein-protein interactions. 3. **Proteolysis:** CPQ is involved in the breakdown of proteins, regulating cellular processes such as cell signaling, differentiation, and survival. 4. **Thyroid hormone generation:** CPQ is implicated in the regulation of thyroid hormone generation, highlighting its potential role in endocrine function and development. 5. **Tissue regeneration:** CPQ is expressed in various tissues, including the lens, thyroid, and brain, suggesting its involvement in tissue repair and regeneration. **Clinical Significance:** CPQ's involvement in multiple cellular processes has significant implications for human health and disease. Alterations in CPQ expression or function may contribute to: 1. **Endocrine disorders:** Dysregulation of thyroid hormone generation, potentially leading to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. 2. **Neurodegenerative diseases:** Impaired CPQ function may contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. 3. **Tissue damage:** CPQ's role in protein degradation and tissue regeneration may be compromised in diseases characterized by tissue damage, such as cancer or cardiovascular disease. 4. **Cancer:** CPQ expression is altered in various cancers, including thyroid cancer, suggesting its potential role in tumor development or progression. In conclusion, CPQ is a multifunctional enzyme with significant implications for human physiology and pathology. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which CPQ regulates cellular processes and to explore its therapeutic potential in diseases characterized by altered CPQ expression or function.
