Other name
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (EC 3.4.21.-) (Paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme 4) (Subtilisin-like proprotein convertase 4) (SPC4) (Subtilisin/kexin-like protease PACE4)
Background
This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an initial autocatalytic processing event in the ER to generate a heterodimer which exits the ER and sorts to the trans-Golgi network where a second autocatalytic event takes place and the catalytic activity is acquired. The encoded protease is constitutively secreted into the extracellular matrix and expressed in many tissues, including neuroendocrine, liver, gut, and brain. This gene encodes one of the seven basic amino acid-specific members which cleave their substrates at single or paired basic residues. Some of its substrates include transforming growth factor beta related proteins, proalbumin, and von Willebrand factor. This gene is thought to play a role in tumor progression and left-right patterning. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Function
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 .,domain:The propeptide domain acts as an intramolecular chaperone assisting the folding of the zymogen within the endoplasmic reticulum. Isoform PACE4D lacks the propeptide domain.,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.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.,similarity:Contains 1 homo B/P domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PLAC domain.,subcellular location:Not secreted, remains probably in zymogen form in endoplasmic reticulum.,subcellular location:Retained intracellularly probably through a hydrophob
