Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The CPA2 gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a large gene with a size of approximately 10.6 kb. * The protein encoded by the CPA2 gene is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. * It is a member of the carboxypeptidase family of enzymes. * The CPA2 gene is expressed in high levels in epithelial cells of the exocrine pancreas, acinar cells, retinal cone cells, pancreatic acinar cells, blood vessel endothelial cells, enterocytes of the colon, pancreatic ductal cells, and cerebral cortex GABAergic interneurons. **Pathways and functions:** * The CPA2 gene is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including protein processing, proteolysis, and cell signaling. * It is responsible for the removal of pro-proteins from the cell and for the processing of secreted proteins. * It is also involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. * The CPA2 gene has been linked to a number of human diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. **Clinical significance:** * The CPA2 gene is a potential target for cancer therapy. * Inhibition of CPA2 has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. * Therefore, CPA2 is a promising target for the development of new cancer drugs.
