Genome-wide census and expression profiling of chicken neuropeptide and prohormone convertase genes
… The complex processing of neuropeptides from prohormone proteins by prohormone convertases, combined with the evolutionary distance between the chicken and mammalian species that have experienced extensive neuropeptide research, has led to the empirical confirmation of only 18 chicken …

NESFATIN-1 AND NESFATIN-1-LIKE PEPTIDE: NUCLEOBINDIN-1/2-ENCODED INSULINOTROPIC AND ENTEROTROPIC PEPTIDES
… to NUCB1. Both proteins also retain their prohormone convertase cleavage sites. However, no information exists on whether NUCB1 encodes bioactive peptides. The fact that NUCB1 is a secreted protein suggests an endocrine function for NUCB1 and/or its encoded peptide. This research …

Manipulating proglucagon processing in the pancreatic alpha-cell for the treatment of diabetes
… via processing of the proglucagon precursor by prohormone convertase (PC) 1/3. Proglucagon is also expressed in the pancreatic alpha-cell; however, in this tissue PC2 is typically expressed instead of PC1/3, resulting in differential cleavage of proglucagon to yield glucagon as the major …

VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY IMPROVES GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS VIA [beta]- CELL GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR SIGNALING BUT PROMOTES COLITIS DEVELOPMENT IN MICE
… pancreatic islets: insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, and prohormone convertase 1/3 (Chapters Two and Three). A growing number of people suffering from irritable bowel disease (IBD) also suffer from obesity and are candidates for bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery has multiple beneficial effects, …

First survey and functional annotation of prohormone and convertase genes in the pig
… that originate as a result of cleavage of prohormones by convertases as well as other posttranslational modifications of the prohormones. Neuropeptides are important for their roles in intercellular communication as well as regulation of many processes including growth, development, immune …
