Baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) Carboxypeptidase Y, recombinant

• Description:

  Carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) catalyzes the following reaction: Peptidyl-L-amino acid + H2O > Peptide + L-amino acid. It is prepared according to the method of Moore & Stein (J. Biol Chem, 211, 907, 1954). It resembles Carboxypeptidase A in its substrate specificity, but it hydrolyzes C-terminal glycine and L-leuicine more rapidly and L- phenylalanine more slowly.
