GeneID: 255738 Human PCSK9

Swiss-port # Q8NBP7 Human Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9

Background This gene encodes a proprotein convertase belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family. The encoded protein is synthesized as a soluble zymogen that undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein may function as a proprotein convertase. This protein plays a role in cholesterol homeostasis and may have a role in the differentiation of cortical neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a third form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (HCHOLA3). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Calculated MW 74 kDa
PTM Cleavage by furin and PCSK5 generates a truncated inactive protein that is unable to induce LDLR degradation.
Undergoes autocatalytic cleavage in the endoplasmic reticulum to release the propeptide from the N-terminus and the cleavage of the propeptide is strictly required for its maturation and activation. The cleaved propeptide however remains associated with the catalytic domain through non-covalent interactions, preventing potential substrates from accessing its active site. As a result, it is secreted from cells as a propeptide-containing, enzymatically inactive protein.
Phosphorylation protects the propeptide against proteolysis.
