Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Gene Expression:** CPN2 is significantly expressed in a diverse range of cells, including kidney epithelial cells, goblet cells, hepatocytes, plasma cells, absorptive cells, intestinal crypt stem cells, and neoplastic cells. This widespread expression suggests that CPN2 may have a broad range of functions in different tissues. 2. **Protein Structure:** The CPN2 protein is a subunit of the carboxypeptidase N enzyme, which is composed of four subunits. The subunit 2 (CPN2) is responsible for the enzymatic activity of the enzyme. 3. **Enzymatic Activity:** CPN2 is a peptidase that cleaves peptides at the carboxyl-terminal end, releasing amino acids. This activity is essential for various physiological processes, including protein regulation, cell signaling, and immune response. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Complement Cascade:** CPN2 is involved in the regulation of the complement cascade, a crucial component of the innate immune system. The complement cascade is activated in response to pathogens, leading to the formation of membrane attack complexes and the elimination of infected cells. 2. **Immune System Regulation:** CPN2 modulates immune responses by regulating the activity of various immune cells, including plasma cells, mast cells, and neutrophils. This regulation is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive immune activation. 3. **Extracellular Matrix and Cell Signaling:** CPN2 is also involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix components and cell signaling pathways. This activity is crucial for maintaining tissue architecture and regulating cell behavior. 4. **Protein Stabilization:** CPN2 has been shown to stabilize proteins, preventing their degradation and maintaining their functional integrity. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Autoimmune Diseases:** Dysregulation of the complement cascade and immune system has been implicated in various autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS). CPN2 may play a role in modulating these diseases. 2. **Cancer:** Abnormal expression of CPN2 has been observed in various types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer. This suggests that CPN2 may be involved in cancer progression and metastasis. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** CPN2 has been implicated in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Dysregulation of CPN2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases. In conclusion, the CPN2 gene plays a critical role in regulating various physiological and pathological processes, including the immune system, extracellular matrix, and cell signaling. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the functions of CPN2 and its potential implications in disease states.
