General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | the major useful function of progastricsin (PGC) includes production of pro-antimicrobial substance in seminal plasma. The action of PGC in the stomach is to degrade dietary proteins. However, in seminal fluid, it activates defensins for local antimicrobial defense. On the other hand, intracellular proprotein activation by PGC in acidic organelle, such as in proSP-B proteolysis, is important on the processing in the secretory pathway of alveolar type-2 cells | Homo sapiens |
