Carboxypeptidase A1 encoded by the CPA1 gene cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides that have a free C-terminal carboxyl group (1). It prefers the C-terminal residues with aromatic or branched aliphatic side chains including Phe, Tyr, Trp, Leu or Ile. It is important in the degradation of food proteins to produce essential amino acids such as Phe and Trp. The deduced amino acid sequence of human CPA1 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 16), a pro region (residue 17 to 110), and a mature chain (residues 111 to 419). The purified rhCPA1 corresponds to the pro form.

Detection of Carboxypeptidase A1 by Western Blot
Effect of the p.G250A CPA1 variant on cellular secretion, enzyme activity, intracellular protein levels, solubility, and BiP protein levels in transfected HEK 293T cells. For comparison, wild-type CPA1 (WT), the reference pathogenic mutation p.N256K, and empty expression vector were studied. (A) Secretion of proCPA1 to the growth medium analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Blue staining. CPA1 enzyme activity in the medium after activation of proCPA1 is indicated in milliOD/min units. (B) Protein levels of proCPA1, BiP, and alpha -tubulin in total cell lysates, and in the insoluble and soluble cellular fractions. Proteins were detected by Western blotting. (C) Densitometric evaluation of proCPA1 and BiP levels in total cell lysates, and in the insoluble and soluble cellular fractions.
