Supplementary information

PC1/3 also known as Proprotein Convertase 1 or PCSK1 is a member of the proprotein convertase family which is responsible for processing precursor proteins into their active forms. This protein with a mass of approximately 84 kDa is expressed in neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues. PC1/3 operates primarily in the secretory pathways of these tissues cleaving prohormones and other precursor proteins at specific sites to generate active peptides and proteins essential for various physiological processes.
Biological function summary

The proprotein convertase enzyme PC1/3 plays a critical role in activating hormone precursors. It is involved in the conversion of proinsulin to insulin as well as the processing of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) to generate peptides like ACTH and beta-endorphin. PC1/3 does not generally form part of a complex but interacts closely with other convertases for complete prohormone processing. This enzyme is essential for maintaining homeostasis in hormone regulation and is an important player in metabolic control.

Pathways

Specific functions of PC1/3 are closely tied to metabolic and neuroendocrine pathways. It is significant in the insulin signaling pathway where its role in converting proinsulin to insulin directly impacts glucose metabolism. Additionally PC1/3 contributes to neuropeptide signaling pathways by processing neuroendocrine peptides which influence appetite and energy homeostasis. PC1/3 works alongside proteins like PC2 another proprotein convertase to ensure comprehensive processing of peptide hormones.

Malfunction or deficiency in PC1/3 activity is associated with disorders such as obesity and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Obesity can result from improper proinsulin processing affecting insulin regulation. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism may occur due to faulty prohormone processing impacting gonadotropin-releasing hormone production. PC1/3 interactions with other convertases like PC2 highlight its involvement in regulatory networks that maintain metabolic and reproductive health.
