Carboxypeptidase B2
Carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2), also known as carboxypeptidase U (CPU), plasma carboxypeptidase B (pCPB) or thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the gene ''CPB2''. Function CPB2 is synthesized by the liverKaushansky K, Lichtman M, Beutler E, Kipps T, Prchal J, Seligsohn U. (2010; edition 8: pages 1833-1834 and 2040-2041) ''Williams Hematology''. McGraw-Hill. and circulates in the plasma as a plasminogen-bound zymogen. When it is activated by proteolysis at residue Arg92 by the thrombin/thrombomodulin complex, CPB2 exhibits carboxypeptidase activity. Activated CPB2 reduces fibrinolysis by removing the fibrin C-terminal residues that are important for the binding and activation of plasminogen. Carboxypeptidases are enzymes that hydrolyze C-terminal peptide bonds. The carboxypeptidase family includes metallo-, serine, and cysteine carboxypeptidases. According to their substrate specificity, these enzymes are referred to as car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Andrea Tafi (artist)
Andrea Tafi (1213–1294) was an Italian artist. He is probably best known for his work on the mosaics of the Baptistery in Florence, which were started in 1225 by Jacobus. His pupils included Buonamico Buffalmacco. Tafi is shown in Frederic Leighton's ''Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna'' (1853–1855); the subject matter of this painting is based on Giorgio Vasari's account of how the ''Rucellai Madonna'' was carried from Cimabue's home to the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Vasari includes a biography of Andrea Tafi in his ''Lives''; the biography includes a tale of how Buonamico di Cristofano stopped Tafi from rising so early by pretending to be a demon A demon is a malevolent supernatural entity. Historically, belief in demons, or stories about demons, occurs in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, video games, movies, ani ....
