Abstract excerpt
The proprotein convertases (PCs) are serine proteases responsible for the proteolytic maturation of many precursor proteins involved in upper airway remodelling during nasal polyposis. We have previously found that PC1/3 is expressed in human nasal mucosa. However, whether PC1/3 is related to nasal polyp formation has not been investigated. To gain insight into the functional role of PC1/3 in nasal polyps, we...
