Carboxypeptidase B, Porcine pancreas

• CAT Number: I041914
• CAS Number: 9025-24-5
• Purity: ≥95%

Carboxypeptidase B, Porcine pancreas (EC 3.4.2.2) is a peptide exonuclease that can specifically degrade peptide chains. Carboxypeptidase B is progressively degraded from the C-terminal to release free amino acids. Carboxypeptidase B hydrolyzes only peptide bonds with basic amino acids (such as arginine and lysine) as C-terminal residues[1][2].
