Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.4.21.93
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
Release of protein hormones, neuropeptides and renin from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg┼ bonds
Function
A Ca2+-dependent enzyme, maximally active at about pH 5.5. Substrates include pro-opiomelanocortin, prorenin, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, prosomatostatin and proinsulin. Unlike prohormone convertase 2, does not hydrolyse proluteinizing-hormone-releasing-hormone. Unusually, processing of prodynorphin occurs at a bond in which P2 is Thr. Present in the regulated secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells, commonly acting co-operatively with prohormone convertase 2. In peptidase family S8 (subtilisin family)
Other name
prohormone convertase 3; neuroendocrine convertase 1; PC1
