General description

A peptidyl chloromethylketone that binds irreversibly to the catalytic site of furin and blocks its activity. Hence, it can be used as a high specificity cleavage inhibitor of viral glycoproteins and blocker viral replication. Reported to block the shedding of MT5-MMP by furin and prevent the activation of MT5-MMP. Completely inhibits the cleavage of Boc-RVRR-AMC (50 µM) by purified furin or PACE4. Also inhibits the activity of endothelin converting enzyme and reduces the pro-peptide cleavage of BACE (β-site APP-cleaving enzyme).

Glypican-3 (GPC-3) is a heparin sulfate proteoglycan located extracellularly and anchored to the cell membrane of transformed hepatocytes. GPC-3 is not expressed in normal or cirrhotic liver tissue but is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because of this, GPC-3 is

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates cholesterol metabolism by inducing the degradation of hepatic low density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs). Plasma PCSK9 has 2 main molecular forms: a 62 kDa mature form (PCSK9_62) and a 55 kDa, furin-cleaved form (PCSK9_55).

How signaling proteins generate a multitude of information to organize tissue patterns is critical to understanding morphogenesis. In Drosophila, FGF produced in wing-disc cells regulates the development of the disc-associated air-sac-primordium (ASP). Here, we show that FGF is Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored to
