Function
Serine protease that cleaves after hydrophobic or small residues, provided that Arg or Lys is in position P4: known substrates include SREBF1/SREBP1, SREBF2/SREBP2, BDNF, GNPTAB, ATF6, ATF6B and FAM20C. Cleaves substrates after Arg-Ser-Val-Leu (SREBP2), Arg-His-Leu-Leu (ATF6), Arg-Gly-Leu-Thr (BDNF) and its own propeptide after Arg-Arg-Leu-Leu. Catalyzes the first step in the proteolytic activation of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) SREBF1/SREBP1 and SREBF2/SREBP2.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Golgi apparatus membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Secreted; Mitochondrion
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed
Disease Association: Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Kondo-Fu type (SEDKF) : A disorder characterized by severely retarded growth, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, reduced bone mineral density, and markedly elevated plasma levels of various lysosomal enzymes. Additional features include pectus carinatum, kyphosis, a waddling gait, brachydactyly and dysmorphic facial features. SEDKF transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Cataract, alopecia, oral mucosal disorder, and psoriasis-like syndrome (CAOP) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset bilateral lens cataract, generalized non-scarring alopecia, oral mucosal disorder, and severe psoriasiform skin lesions affecting the scalp, facial, inguinal region, buttocks, and lower extremities.
