Abstract excerpt
Furin proteolytically cleaves a wide variety of proprotein substrates mainly within the trans-Golgi network (TGN) but also at the cell membrane and in endosomal compartments where pH is more acidic. Incorporation of furin recognition sequences within the reactive site loop (RSL) of alpha(1)-antitrypsin (AT) leads to the production of furin inhibitors. In an attempt to design more stable, potent, and specific...
