Kininase I (carboxypeptidase N; EC 3.4.17.3) consists of carboxypeptidase N1 (CN1) and carboxypeptidase N2 (CN2); these two enzymes can be differentiated by their activities towards hippuryl-L-arginine and hippuryl-L-lysine, respectively. A spectrophotometric assay for both carboxypeptidases in human serum is described
