pfam12177: Proho_convert (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Prohormone convertase enzyme
This domain family is found in eukaryotes, and is approximately 40 amino acids in length. The family is found in association with pfam01483, pfam00082. There are two completely conserved residues (Y and D) that may be functionally important. This protein is the C terminal domain of a prohormone convertase enzyme which targets hormones in dense core secretory granules. This C terminal tail domain is the domain responsible for targeting these dense core secretory granules. The domain adopts an alpha helical structure.
