General annotation (Comments)

Function

Likely to represent an endoprotease activity within the constitutive secretory pathway, with unique restricted distribution in both neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine tissues and capable of cleavage at the RX(K/R)R consensus motif.

Catalytic activity

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.

Cofactor

Calcium Potential.

Tissue specificity

High expression in the anterior pituitary and in several brain regions, the atrium, and the ventricle.

Domain

The propeptide domain acts as an intramolecular chaperone assisting the folding of the zymogen within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.

Contains 1 homo B/P domain.

Contains 1 PLAC domain.
