Carboxypeptidases (CP) in plasma and sera serve as regulators of anaphylatoxins such as C3a and C5a. The activity of CP can be measured by determining hippuric acid after cleavage of the small synthetic substrate hippuryl-L-arginine. Although a colorimetric assay is

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
