Target
-
Function
May be implicated in the differentiation of cortical neurons and may play a role in cholesterol homeostasis. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in neuro-epithelioma, colon carcinoma, hepatic and pancreatic cell lines, and in Schwann cells. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in PCSK9 are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia 3 (FH3) [MIM:603776]. FH3 inheritance is autosomal dominant. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S8 family.
Contains 1 peptidase S8 domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe soluble zymogen undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the cleavage of its propeptide that remains associated with the secreted enzyme. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. - Information by UniProt
