When a protein and a water molecule interact, a protein and an amino acid are produced. The enzyme carboxypeptidase A, which is used to quicken the hydrolysis reaction, is secreted by the pancreas. A proteolytic enzyme is carboxypeptidase. It has been established that zinc, a cofactor or coenzyme, is necessary for the carboxypeptidase enzyme. A cofactor is an element of a holoenzyme that is not a protein, such as metal ions, coenzymes, or prosthetic groups.

The final answer is The cofactor of the enzyme carboxypeptidase is zinc.
