Background

Furin, also known as Paired Basic Amino Acid Cleaving Enzyme (PACE), is a key member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. Functioning as a calcium-dependent serine protease, its structure includes an N-terminal signal peptide, a prodomain, a catalytic domain, a P-domain responsible for maintaining enzymatic activity and calcium/pH sensitivity, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail. Primarily localized within the Golgi apparatus/endosomal system, it activates a wide range of proprotein substrates—such as growth factors, receptors, extracellular matrix proteins, and pathogen proteins (e.g., envelope proteins of HIV and influenza virus)—by specifically cleaving after the Arg-X-(Arg/Lys)-Arg sequence motif. It plays a critical role in embryogenesis, peripheral immune tolerance, and cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of its function is closely linked to tumor progression, neurodegenerative diseases, and various pathogen infections, making it a significant therapeutic target in clinical applications.
