Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The protein is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. * It is expressed in the cytoplasm of cells. * It is a member of the carboxypeptidase family of enzymes. * It is responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of proangiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. * It is also involved in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. **Pathways and functions:** * The CPA3 gene is involved in the production of angiotensinogen, a peptide hormone that regulates blood pressure. * Angiotensinogen is produced in the liver and then secreted into the bloodstream. * It is converted to angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is expressed in the lungs, kidney, and liver. * Angiotensin I is a potent vasoconstrictor, which means that it causes blood vessels to narrow. * Angiotensin I is released into the plasma and binds to angiotensin receptors on blood vessel walls, which causes the blood vessels to constrict. * This leads to a decrease in blood pressure. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the CPA3 gene have been linked to the development of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. * In one study, mutations in the CPA3 gene were found in 10% of patients with hypertension. * These mutations were associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart disease and stroke. * Therefore, CPA3 is a promising target for the treatment of hypertension.
