Name |
proprotein convertase 1;
prohormone convertase 3;
neuroendocrine convertase 1;
PC1
|
Class |
Hydrolases;
Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Serine endopeptidases
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
Release of protein hormones, neuropeptides and renin from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg! bonds
|
Comment |
A Ca2+-dependent enzyme, maximally active at about pH 5.5. Substrates include pro-opiomelanocortin, prorenin, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, prosomatostatin and proinsulin. Unlike prohormone convertase 2, does not hydrolyse proluteinizing-hormone-releasing-hormone. Unusually, processing of prodynorphin occurs at a bond in which P2 is Thr. Present in the regulated secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells, commonly acting co-operatively with prohormone convertase 2. In peptidase family S8 (subtilisin family)
