General description

Furin is a calcium-dependent serine endoproteinase and belongs to the subtilisin-like proprotein/prohormone convertase (PC) family. It is distributed ubiquitously and has a rhythmic movement between the trans-Golgi network, cell surface and the endosomes.

Application

Furin Inhibitor II has been used as a furin inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) induced glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) production in non-tumorigenic immortalized human granulosa cell line (SVOG).
  • to study its effect on cleavage of (Pro) renin receptor (PRR) induced by bovine serum albumin (BSA) in human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells.
  • in furin cleavage assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Furin plays a role in processing several pro-proteins such as, bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4), insulin receptor and Notch1 receptor. It also processes human immune deficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) glycoprotein gp160, several metalloproteases and pro-β-nerve growth (pro-β-NGF) factor. Furin is also involved in cleaving transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1).

The anthrax toxin protective antigen precursor is activated by proteolytic cleavage by furin or a furin-like protease. We present here data demonstrating that the small stable furin inhibitor hexa-D-arginine amide delays anthrax toxin-induced toxemia both in cells and in live

The Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) Se8 gene was recently shown to encode the viral envelope fusion (F) protein. A 60-kDa C-terminal subunit (F1) of the 76-kDa primary translation product of this gene was found to be the major envelope

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA) protein requires furin-mediated cleavage for manifestation of toxicity. We show here that the small stable furin inhibitor hexa-D-arginine amide effectively blocks PEA-induced cell lysis and is itself noncytotoxic. Administration of hexa-D-arginine to PEA-treated mice
