3.4.21.B26 evolution the enzyme belongs to the Ca2+-dependent proprotein convertase family of enzymes 731899 3.4.21.B26 evolution the enzyme is a serine protease of the proprotein convertase family 732515 3.4.21.B26 malfunction complete knockout of PC5/6 is lethal between E4.5-7.5 718009 3.4.21.B26 malfunction enzyme-knockout endometrial epithelial cells show reduced capacity to attach to trophoblast spheroids and bind to fibronectin compared with control. Knockdown of the enzyme decreases cell surface presentation of functional integrins-alpha1, alpha2, alpha5, alphaV and alphaVbeta5 731899 3.4.21.B26 malfunction gene inactivation of PC5/6 leads to lethality at birth, the lack of PC5/6 in enterocytes results in a significantly higher tumor number in the duodenum, the absence of PC5/6 is also associated with a premature mortality of ApcMin/+ mice that harbor a heterozygote multiple intestinal neoplasia mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene 709911 3.4.21.B26 malfunction PC5/6-knockout mouse embryos show developmental abnormalities, and reduced overall mineralization 753112 3.4.21.B26 malfunction PC6 knockdown reduces removal of alpha-dystroglycan N-terminus from endometrial epithelial cell surface and blastocyst adhesion 753529 3.4.21.B26 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 752449 3.4.21.B26 malfunction specific lentiviral short hairpin RNA-mediated PC5/6A knockdown decreases bone morphogenetic protein-2 expression and maturation, decreases expression of squamous cell markers, and increases expression of ciliated cell markers. Enzyme inhibition by decanoyl-Arg-Val-Lys-Arg-chloromethylketone and bone morphogenetic protein receptor inhibition by LDN-193189 suppress squamous differentiation, promote mucociliary differentiation, and down-regulate the BMP-2/Smad1/5/8/p38 signaling pathways 731111 3.4.21.B26 metabolism the enzyme in the human endometrium is tightly regulated during receptivity for embryo implantation 731899
