Proprotein convertases, including PCSK4, are
calcium-dependent serine proteases related to bacterial subtilisins
and to yeast kexin. These enzymes process precursor proteins to
their active forms by selective cleavage of the polypeptide at
sites following paired basic amino acids. In mammals, this family
comprises PC1 (MIM 162150), PC2 (MIM 162151), PC4, PC5 (MIM
600488), furin (FUR; MIM 136950), and PACE4 (MIM 167405).
Substrates for these enzymes range from prohormones to precursors
for growth factors to cell surface receptors and viral surface
glycoproteins (Cao et al., 2001 [PubMed 11776387]).[supplied by
OMIM].1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care (2010) In press :
