malfunction | specific lentiviral short hairpin RNA-mediated PC5/6A knockdown decreases BMP-2 expression and maturation, decreases expression of squamous cell markers, and increases expression of ciliated cell markers | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | involvement of PC5/6A in squamous differentiation of human nasal epithelial cells. Overexpression of PC5/6A and BMP-2 in the human nasal epithelial cell line RPMI-2650 demonstrates that PC5/6A can activate BMP-2 | Homo sapiens |
