The proteolytic cleavage of SEMA3F may be mediated by non-furin proprotein convertases [PDF]
Class III Semaphorins (SEMA3) comprise a family of chemokines that have been implicated as negative regulators of axonal guidance, angiogenesis and tumor progression.

Abstract Aims Diabetes mellitus remains a prevalent condition worldwide and a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Recent evidence suggests the use of glucose‐lowering therapies with cardiovascular benefit in optimising the cardiometabolic profile of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Polyphenols with indirect proprotein convertase inhibitory activity
Polyphenols, a class of natural products, have been shown to exhibit cancer protective properties. Proprotein convertases form a family of mammalian subtilisin-like serine endoproteases. Increased expression of these enzymes has been associated with numerous pathologies including cancer.
