3.4.21.61 drug development PCSK6 may become a reasonable target for the development of drugs able to control high blood pressure by directly modulating pro-ANP cleavage Homo sapiens
3.4.21.61 medicine PCSK6 may become a reasonable target for the development of drugs able to control high blood pressure by directly modulating pro-ANP cleavage and, therefore, increasing endogenous circulating alphaANP levels. Such a therapeutic approach may reveal beneficial also in the treatment of heart failure Homo sapiens

General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.21.61 malfunction lack of PCSK6-dependent corin activation leads to hypertension. PCSK6-mediated processing of corin is reduced in the presence of corin variants T555I and Q568P previously associated to hypertension and to heart disease Homo sapiens
3.4.21.61 physiological function the enzyme is involved in pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) processing in the heart, key functions of PCSK6 are in the cardiovascular system to control blood pressure homeostasis Homo sapiens
