簡要描述：Furin is a calcium-dependent serine endoprotease that belongs to the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. The members of this family process latent precursor proteins into their biologically active products. Furin cleaves at paired basic amino acid processing sites within proparathyroid hormone, transforming growth factor β 1 precursor, proalbumin, pro-β-secretase, membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase, β subunit of pro-nerve growth factor and von Willebrand factor. Furin can di
