FunFam 1: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Furin. [EC: 3.4.21.75]
Release of mature proteins from their proproteins by cleavage of -Arg- Xaa-Yaa-Arg-|-Zaa- bonds, where Xaa can be any amino acid and Yaa is Arg or Lys. Releases albumin, complement component C3 and von Willebrand factor from their respective precursors.
  • Activated by calcium.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S8.

Proprotein convertase 1. [EC: 3.4.21.93]
Release of protein hormones, neuropeptides and renin from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg-|- bonds.
  • A calcium 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 cleave proluteinizing- hormone-releasing hormone.
  • Usually processing of prodynorphin occurs at a bond in which P2 is Thr.
  • Present in the regulated secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells, commonly actin co-operatively with prohormone convertase 2.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S8.
