latexin

Summary

This gene encodes the only known protein inhibitor of zinc-dependent metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded protein, latexin, downregulates the population size of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein is found to be downregulated in cancer cells because of promoter hypermethylation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]
