Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.4.21.94
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
Release of protein hormones and neuropeptides from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg┼ bonds
Function
A Ca2+-dependent enzyme, maximally active at about pH 5.5. Specificity is broader than that of prohormone convertase 1. Substrates include pro-opiomelanocortin, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, proglucagon, proinsulin and proluteinizing-hormone-releasing-hormone. Does not hydrolyse prorenin or prosomatostatin, however. 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 1. In peptidase family S8 (subtilisin family)
Other name
neuroendocrine convertase 2; PC2
