Carboxypeptidase M, substrates and ligands.

The aim of the project is to identify interaction partners of human carboxypeptidase M (CPM). The research plan has two components. On the one hand we study the interaction with bioactive peptides that are substrates for the carboxypeptidase enzymatic activity. On the other hand we investigate a potential role of this membrane bound protein in cell-cell interactions, extracellular matrix interactions and cell migration.

Keywords:CARBOXYPEPTIDASE M
