Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 inhibitor is a protein by the name of proSAAS that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1N gene. [5]
Function
This protein is expressed largely in cells possessing a regulated secretory pathway, such as endocrine/neuroendocrine cells and neurons. The intact proSAAS protein, as well as the carboxyy-terminal peptide containing the inhibitory hexapeptide LLRVKR, functions as an inhibitor of prohormone convertase 1/3, which accomplishes the initial proteolytic cleavage of peptide precursors. ProSAAS is further processed at the N- and C-termini into multiple short peptides, leaving the central segment intact. This central, unprocessed portion of the protein may function as a neural- and endocrine-specific chaperone due to its potent ability to block the aggregation of beta amyloid and alpha synuclein in vitro, and to block oligomer cytotoxicity in cells.[6][7] Recent data show that nigral proSAAS expression blocks the deterioration of the striatonigral pathway in a synuclein rat model of Parkinson's disease.[8] ProSAAS also oligomerizes and undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation.[9] Differential expression of this gene may be associated with obesity.
