EC Number 3.4.21.75
CAS Registry Number 141760-45-4
Comments One of a group of peptidases in peptidase family?S8?(subtilisin family) that is structurally and functionally similar to kexin. All are activated by Ca2+, contain Cys near the active site His, and are inhibited by?p-mercuribenzoate. At least three related enzymes are recognized in mammals: PC2, PC3 and PC4, which have somewhat different specificities.
Cofactor
History
Reactions 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.
