AGBL5 AGBL carboxypeptidase 5

Gene ID: 60509, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CCP5; RP75

Summary

This gene encodes a metallocarboxypeptidase involved in protein deglutamylation and a member of the peptidase M14 family of proteins. The encoded protein has been described as a "dual-functional" deglutamylase that can remove glutamate residues from both carboxyl termini and side chains of protein substrates. This deglutamylase activity may be important in antiviral immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
