Proprotein convertase genes in Xenopus development [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2005 AbstractProprotein convertases (PCs) are a family of serine endoproteases that proteolytically activate many precursor proteins within various secretory pathway compartments. Loss‐of‐function studies have demonstrated a critical role for these proteases in embryonic patterning and adult homeostasis, yet little is known about how substrate selectivity ...

Mouse Models of Human Proprotein Convertase Insufficiency
Endocrine Reviews, 2020 AbstractThe kexin-like proprotein convertases perform the initial proteolytic cleavages that ultimately generate a variety of different mature peptide and proteins, ranging from brain neuropeptides to endocrine peptide hormones, to structural proteins, among others.

Proprotein Convertases Process Pmel17 during Secretion [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 Pmel17 is a melanocyte/melanoma-specific protein that traffics to melanosomes where it forms a fibrillar matrix on which melanin gets deposited. Before being cleaved into smaller fibrillogenic fragments the protein undergoes processing by proprotein convertases, a class of serine proteases that typically recognize the canonical motif RX(R/K)R↓.
