Summary

SCPEP1 (serine carboxypeptidase 1, HGNC:29507) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q22, encoding Retinoid-inducible serine carboxypeptidase (Q9HB40). May be involved in vascular wall and kidney homeostasis.

Predicted to enable serine-type carboxypeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of blood pressure and retinoic acid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within blood vessel diameter maintenance. Located in extracellular exosome.

Function. May be involved in vascular wall and kidney homeostasis.

Subcellular location. Secreted.

Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase S10 family.
