PTM:Type I membrane-bound, as well as soluble, furin has a pre-eminent role in ITM2C proteolytic processing. PCSK7 and PCSK5 may also be involved although to a lesser extent. The soluble form of PCSK7 is incapable of processing ITM2C.,similarity:Belongs to the ITM2 family.,similarity:Contains 1 BRICHOS domain.,subunit:Interacts with BACE1.,tissue specificity:High levels in the brain, specifically in the cerebral cortex, medulla, amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, olfactory lobe and spinal cord. Very low levels in other organs.,
