Furin is a ubiquitous subtilisin-like proprotein convertase. It is the major processing enzyme of the secretory pathway and is localized in the trans-golgi network. Substrates of Furin include blood clotting factors, serum proteins and growth factor receptors such as the insulin-like growth factor receptor. The minimal cleavage site is Arg-X-X-Arg'. However, the enzyme prefers the site Arg-X-(Lys/Arg)-Arg'. An additional arginine at the P6 position appears to enhance cleavage. Furin is inhibited by EGTA, α1- Antitrypsin Portland and polyarginine compounds.
Source: Isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells infected with recombinant baculovirus carrying truncated human furin.
Assay Conditions for Unit Activity
Two fold dilutions of Furin are incubated with 25 µg MBP-FN-paramyosin-ΔSal substrate in 20 mM HEPES, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2mM β-mercaptoenthanol (pH 7.5 @ 25°C) in a 25 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated at 25°C for 6 hours. Separation of reaction products are visualized by SDS-PAGE.

生化机理
Ubiquitous endoprotease within constitutive secretory pathways capable of cleavage at the RX(K/R)R consensus motif. Mediates processing of TGFB1, an essential step in TGF-beta-1 activation. Converts through proteolytic cleavage the non-functional Brain natriuretic factor prohormone into its active hormone BNP(1-32). By mediating processing of accessory subunit ATP6AP1/Ac45 of the V-ATPase, regulates the acidification of dense-core secretory granules in islets of Langerhans cells (By similarity).
Post-translational: The inhibition peptide, which plays the role of an intramolecular chaperone, is autocatalytically removed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and remains non-covalently bound to furin as a potent autoinhibitor. Following transport to the trans Golgi, a second cleavage within the inhibition propeptide results in propeptide dissociation and furin activation. Phosphorylation is required for TGN localization of the endoprotease. In vivo, exists as di-, mono- and non-phosphorylated forms.
