protein-coding

carboxypeptidase E, the group of M14 carboxypeptidases|MicroRNA protein coding host genes

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptidase. This peripheral membrane protein cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, including insulin. This protein may also function independently of its peptidase activity, as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neuronal survival, and as a sorting receptor that binds to regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones. Mutations in this gene are implicated in type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

BDV syndrome (Intellectual developmental disorder and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)AR

Manifestation: Endocrine; Neurologic

Intervention: Endocrine

Rationale: Among other findings, individuals may manifest with hypothyroidism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and awareness may allow medical treatment of these endocrine diosrders; Related to Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, surveillance in adolescence related to sexual maturation is indicated, as is monitoring of bone mineral density in order to allow early detection and treatment of disease

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001873.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
