Latexin Products

Latexin, also known as tissue carboxypeptidase inhibitor, is the only mammalian carboxypeptidase inhibitor identified so far. Latexin is a marker of neurons in the lateral neocortex of the developing brain and is also highly expressed in mast cells and macrophages. It is induced in acute pancreatitis and lung inflammatory disease and is able to inhibit specific pancreatic and mast cell carboxypeptidases.
