Lysosomal Pro-Xaa carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.16.2, angiotensinase C, lysosomal carboxypeptidase C, peptidylprolylamino acid carboxypeptidase, aminoacylproline carboxypeptidase, prolyl carboxypeptidase, carboxypeptidase P, proline-specific carboxypeptidase P, PCP) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
Cleavage of a -Pro-Xaa bond to release a C-terminal amino acid
A lysosomal peptidase active at acidic pH that inactivates angiotensin II. This enzyme is inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
