carboxypeptidase

Any enzyme (EC 3.4.16 to EC 3.4.18) which hydrolyses (cleaves) the peptide bond of the COOH terminal amino acid from a peptide; carboxypeptidase A removes aromatic or branched hydrocarbons, while carboxypeptidase B removes positively charged terminal lysine or arginine amino acid residues.
