PCSK2, Recombinant, Human (Neuroendocrine Convertase 2, NEC 2, KEX2-like Endoprotease 2, Prohormone Convertase 2, Proprotein Convertase 2, PC2, NEC2)

Proprotein Convertase 2 (PCSK2) is a subtilisin-like serine peptidase that processes proteins into biologically active products in the secretory pathway. Like other furin/kexin family members, PCSK2 cleaves its substrates primarily after sites of paired basicaaresidues. Autoactivation of PCSK2 occurs in a post-Golgi compartment of the secretory system. Interaction with the secretory protein 7B2 is required for proper activation of PCSK2. The N-terminal domain of 7B2 stabilizes active PCSK2, and a C-terminal fragment of 7B2 can inhibit PCSK2 activity. rhPCSK2 was coexpressed with 7B2 to facilitate activation of the enzyme. PCSK2 is a major proteolytic processing enzyme of the regulated secretory pathway of the neuroendocrine system, where it generates a number of hormones and neuropeptides. Products of PCSK2 processing include enkephalins, insulin, somatostatin, dynorphin, and LHRH.

Small volumes of PCSK2 active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS637617 is an active protein targeting PCSK2. Also known as PCSK2, Recombinant, Human (Neuroendocrine Convertase 2, NEC 2, KEX2-like Endoprotease 2, Prohormone Convertase 2, Proprotein Convertase 2, PC2, NEC2).
