Microtubule associated tyrosine carboxypeptidase 2 (MATCAP2)

Microtubule associated tyrosine carboxypeptidase 2 (MATCAP2) is a protein-coding enzyme predicted to exhibit carboxypeptidase and metallopeptidase activities, contributing to the processing and modification of tyrosine residues in proteins. It is likely involved in proteolytic cleavage, specifically at protein termini. MATCAP2 is encoded by the gene with identifiers such as HGNC: 22206 and NCBI Gene: 23366 (human); an ortholog exists in rodent genomes. MATCAP2 belongs to the metallocarboxypeptidase family and is implicated in post-translational protein processing but has no confirmed, direct links to specific diseases or clinical drugs based on the available data. The various aliases reflect its identification across different species and databases, but all refer to the same putative enzymatic function.
