Proprotein convertases: lessons from knockouts
The FASEB Journal, 2006The physiological role of the subtilisin/kexin‐like proprotein convertases (PCs) in rodents has been examined through the use of knockout mice. This review will summarize the major in vivo defects that result from the disruption of the expression of their genes.

Proprotein convertases as therapeutic targets
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2008Limited endoproteolysis of precursor proteins is a common mechanism of production of functional proteins and peptides. In the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells, this endoproteolysis is principally mediated by a family of calcium-dependent serine proteases, generically known as proprotein convertases.

The major endoproteolytic processing enzymes of the secretory pathway are the subtilisin-like proprotein convertases (SPCs). Furin (SPC1) has emerged as one of the major processing enzymes of the constitutive secretory pathway and its localization in the trans-Golgi network and mechanism of autoactivation have been studied in considerable detail ...

Inhibitors of proprotein convertases
Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2005The discovery of mammalian subtilases, proprotein convertases (PCs) or subtilisin-like proprotein convertases (SPCs), in 1990 was a result of sustained efforts in searching for enzyme/s responsible for maturation of inactive protein precursors. Since then, seven PCs have so far been discovered that cleave at the carboxy-terminal of a basic amino acid ...

Proprotein convertases in atherogenesis
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2015The proprotein convertases subtilisin/kexin (PCSKs) are endoproteases identified as activators of precursors from hormones and peptides. On the basis of the variety of substrates and regulation in disease, they have been recognized as mediators in atherogenesis.
