PRCP (Prolylcarboxypeptidase; also PCP, lysosomal ProX carboxypeptidase and lysosomal carboxypeptidase C) is a lysosomal 5762kD glycoprotein member of the S28 family of proteases.
It is expressed by a number of cells, including fibroblasts, macrophages, and endothelial cells.
PRCP cleaves a variety of single Cterminal amino acids (aa) adjacent to a Pro residue, and is known to act on, and inactivate, peptides such as prekallikrein, alphaMSH and angiotensin II plus III.
Human PRCP is apparently synthesized as a prepropeptide that contains a signal sequence (aa121), a short prosequence (aa2245) and a 451aa mature region (aa46496).
The mature region demonstrates a Sercarboxypeptidase domain (aa55477) that, in itself, possesses an SKS domain that caps the enzyme's catalytic site.
The molecule is known to be mannosylated, and to form noncovalent homodimers.
There is one splice variant that contains a 21 aa insertion after Lys56.
Over aa1496, human and mouse PRCP share 77% aa sequence identity.
