The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the
subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. The members of this
family are proprotein convertases that process latent precursor
proteins into their biologically active products. This encoded
protein is a calcium-dependent serine endoprotease that can cleave
precursor protein at their paired basic amino acid processing
sites. Some of its substrates are - transforming growth factor beta
related proteins, proalbumin, and von Willebrand factor. This gene
is thought to play a role in tumor progression. Alternatively
spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been
identified.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
