Membrane Pro-Xaa carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.17.16, carboxypeptidase P, microsomal carboxypeptidase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Release of a C-terminal residue other than proline, by preferential cleavage of a prolyl bond

This is one of the renal brush border exopeptidases
