About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for PCSK2:
This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. These enzymes process latent precursor
proteins into their biologically active products. The encoded protein plays a critical role in hormone biosynthesis by
processing a variety of prohormones including proinsulin, proopiomelanocortin and proluteinizing-hormone-releasing
hormone. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may increase susceptibility to myocardial infarction and type 2
diabetes. This gene may also play a role in tumor development and progression. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: NEC2_HUMAN, P16519
Function: Involved in the processing of hormone and other protein precursors at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino
acid residues. Responsible for the release of glucagon from proglucagon in pancreatic A cells
