proteins, containing the amino acids.
Carboxypeptidase is secreted by Pancreas in inactive form (procarboxypeptidase) and is activated by trypsin. Carboxypeptidase is also secreted by small intestine as brush border enzyme. Reference: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb
Carboxypeptidase breaks down peptides by cleaving off individual amino acids from the C-terminal end of the peptide chain.
enzyme-substrate complex
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
Zinc in the enzyme carboxypeptidase likely functions as a cofactor, helping to stabilize the enzyme's structure and assist in catalyzing the reaction by participating in binding and activation of the substrate.
Zinc serves as a cofactor in the active site of carboxypeptidase by stabilizing the reaction intermediate during peptide cleavage. It acts as a Lewis acid, facilitating the nucleophilic attack on the peptide bond. Zinc also helps orient the substrate in the active site for optimal binding and catalysis.
Yes.
I think the source is the pancreas

Aminopeptidase
Carboxypeptidase breaks down peptides by cleaving off individual amino acids from the C-terminal end of the peptide chain.
Aminopeptidase & carboxypeptidase
The two enzymes differ based on where they cleave the protein being digested. The amino peptidase cleaves the protein from the amino terminus while the carboxypeptidase cleaves the protein from the carboxy terminus.
