Background

CPE is a multifunctional protein harboring both enzymatic and nonenzymatic functions, largely expressed in endocrine cells and peptidergic neurons in the nervous system. Full-length CPE (F-CPE) protein is an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which disrupts disheveled-induced signalosomes that are important for transducing the Wnt signal and reduces β-catenin protein levels and activity (PMID: 22824791). Defects in the gene encoding carboxypeptidase E (CPE) in either mouse or human lead to multiple endocrine disorders, including obesity and diabetes (PMID: 16219026).
