UniProt functional annotation for P29120

UniProt code: P29120.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in the processing of hormone and other protein precursors at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues. Substrates include POMC, renin, enkephalin, dynorphin, somatostatin, insulin and AGRP. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P63239}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Release of protein hormones, neuropeptides and renin from their precursors, generally by hydrolysis of -Lys-Arg-|- bonds.; EC=3.4.21.93;
Cofactor: Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108;
Subcellular location: Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle. Note=Localized in the secretion granules.
Ptm: O-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23234360}.
Polymorphism: Genetic variations in PCSK1 define the body mass index quantitative trait locus 12 (BMIQ12) [MIM:612362]. Variance in body mass index is a susceptibility factor for obesity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18604207}.
Disease: Proprotein convertase 1 deficiency (PC1 deficiency) [MIM:600955]: Characterized by obesity, hypogonadism, hypoadrenalism, reactive hypoglycemia as well as marked small-intestinal absorptive dysfunction It is due to impaired processing of prohormones. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617756, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17595246, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9207799}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. Furin subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
