PCSK2
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. Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. Furin subfamily. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
