lysine carboxypeptidase

lysine carboxypeptidase
ly·sine car·boxy·pep·ti·dase (liґsēn kahr-bok″se-pepґtĭ-dās) [EC 3.4.17.3] an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of C-terminal basic amino acids from peptides, preferentially removing lysine residues but also removing arginine residues from kinins, inactivating them. The enzyme is found in plasma. Called also arginine carboxypeptidase and kininase I.
