'We report the isolation of a cDNA clone encoding a 60-kDa protein termed fragmin60 that cross-reacts with fragmin antibodies. Unlike other gelsolin-related proteins, fragmin60 contains a unique N-terminal domain that shows similarity with C2 domains of aczonin, protein kinase C, and synaptotagmins. The fragmin60 C2 domain binds three calcium ions, ... More

'Growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP) is complexed to a substantial fraction of circulating GH. In humans, rabbits, and other species, GHBP derives from proteolytic shedding of the GH receptor (GHR) extracellular domain. In cell culture studies, stimuli such as phorbol ester, platelet-derived growth factor, or serum induce GHR proteolysis, which concomitantly ... More
Prohaptoglobin is proteolytically cleaved in the endoplasmic reticulum by the complement C1r-like protein.

Many secretory proteins are synthesized as proforms that become biologically active through a proteolytic cleavage in the trans-Golgi complex or at a later stage in the secretory pathway. Haptoglobin (Hp) is unusual in that it is cleaved in the endoplasmic reticulum before it enters the Golgi. Here, we present evidence ... More
