Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for PCSK2(NM_002594.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The 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 is a proinsulin-processing enzyme that plays a key role in regulating insulin biosynthesis. It is also known to cleave proopiomelanocortin, proenkephalin, prodynorphin and proluteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene.

- prominently expressed in PTHrP-expressing human cancer cell lines originating from tumors of the breast, lung, prostate, as well as lymphoma
- A marked decrease in the ratio of the PC2 precursor to the total enzymatic pool is observed in the frontal cortex of Alzheimer patients; however, the content and enzymatic activity of the PC2 mature form are similar in Alzheimer patients and controls.
- concluded that there are two novel TRE-like sequences in the hPC2 promoter and that these regions act in concert in a unique manner to facilitate the effects of thyroid hormone and 9-cis-retinoic acid on PC2
- PC1 and PC2 in are abnormally expressed and processed in human colorectal liver metastases
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms in PCSK2 is associated with type 2 diabetes
- PC1/3 governs the endocrine and PC2 the neuronal processing of proCCK, whereas PC5/6 contributes only to a modest endocrine synthesis of CCK-22.
