The biology and therapeutic targeting of the proprotein convertases
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 2012The mammalian proprotein convertases constitute a family of nine secretory serine proteases that are related to bacterial subtilisin and yeast kexin. Seven of these (proprotein convertase 1 (PC1), PC2, furin, PC4, PC5, paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme 4 (PACE4) and PC7) activate cellular and pathogenic precursor proteins by cleavage at single or

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.

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a cardiovascular factor, for which there is no approved specific lowering treatment. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to have lowering effects on Lp(a).
