Gene information for PCSK5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5125
Official gene symbolPCSK5
Full nameproprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5
Aliases,PC5,PC6,PC6A,SPC6,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. The members of this family are proprotein convertases that process latent precursor proteins into their biologically active products. This encoded protein mediates posttranslational endoproteolytic processing for several integrin alpha subunits. It is thought to process prorenin, pro-membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase and HIV-1 glycoprotein gp160. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
