Abstract excerpt
Rat prothyrotropin-releasing hormone (pro-TRH) is endoproteolyzed within the regulated secretory pathway of neuroendocrine cells yielding five TRH peptides and seven to nine other unique peptides. Endoproteolysis is performed by two prohormone convertases, PC1 and PC2. Proteolysis of pro-TRH begins in the trans-Golgi network and forms two intermediates that are then differentially processed as they exit the Golgi...
