Disease relevance of Pcsk7

  • Biochemical and enzymatic characterization of the novel proprotein convertase rat PC7 (rPC7) was carried out using vaccinia virus recombinants overexpressed in mammalian BSC40 cells [1].
 

High impact information on Pcsk7

  • By screening rat spleen and PC12 cell lambda gt11 cDNA libraries, we obtained a composite 3.5-kb full-length cDNA sequence of rPC7 [2].
  • Thus, this study establishes that rPC7 is an enzymatically functional subtilisin/kexin-like serine proteinase with a cleavage specificity resembling that of hfurin [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pcsk7

  • Northern blot analyses demonstrated a widespread expression with the richest source of rPC7 mRNA being the colon and lymphoid-associated tissues [2].
