SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane

	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,lumen
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,Golgi
text	membrane associated protein circulating between the trans-Golgi network and cell surface
	highly expressed in syncytial trophoblast in the first trimester human placenta

basic FUNCTION	paired basic amino-acid residue cleaving enzyme
	involved in processing of pro-parathyroid hormone, von Willebrand factor, insulin receptor, TGF1B, hepatocyte growth factor, C propeptide of collagen type V, alpha 1, NOTCH signaling proteins, certain viral enveloppe glycoproteins, ED1
	protease
	cleaving CD109 and thus involved in the regulation of TGF-beta signaling
	may be responsible for the activation of HIV envelope glycoproteins gp160 and gp140
	may play a role in tumor progression
	cleaving hemojuvelin
	mediating the posttranslational processing of hepcidin
	proprotein convertase that cycles between the plasma membrane, endosomes and the trans-Golgi network (TGN), maintaining a predominant distribution in the latter
	involved in the signaling and trafficking of membrane proteins
	may control hepcidin expression
	SRC and FURIN play crucial roles in tumorigenesis
	FURIN function is required for the development of syncytiotrophoblast structure in the labyrinth layer, as well as for normal embryonic development
	is the primary convertase of ANGPTL3 and endothelial lipase in hepatocytes
	FURIN, PCSK5, and PCSK6 process two triglyceride lipase family members, endothelial lipase and lipoprotein lipase, which are important for HDL remodeling

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Ca2+

protein	binding to PACS1 which mediates its TGN localization and connection to clathrin adapters
	interacting with FLNA
	interacting with TFR2 and HFE (TFR2 and HFE are involved in holotransferrin-dependent signaling for the regulation of FURIN which involved Erk phosphorylation)
	interaction between the PTB domain of APBA3 and the acidic peptide signal of FURIN regulates the specific localization of FURIN in the TGN
	important role for FURIN in regulated secretion, particularly in intragranular acidification most likely due to impaired processing of ATP6AP1
	MMP14 and FURIN were found to co-localize with Golgi reassembly stacking protein 55 (GORASP2)
	SERPINE1 is an intracellular inhibitor of furin, having an active role in the development of metabolic disorders
	association between FURIN and MMP14 is regulated by the tyrosine kinase SRC
	NOTCH1-FURIN interaction is regulated by the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, SRC
	PCSK3/FURIN was identified as the major proprotein convertase expressed by adipocytes that mediates the endogenous cleavage of C1QTNF12
	SERPINE2 inhibits FURIN, a serine protease that activates MMP17 involved in the shedding of endothelial PROCR, suggesting a direct interaction between SERPINE2 and FURIN in endothelial cells
	PAX6 directly bound to and activated the prohormone convertase 1/3 (PCSK1, PCSK2, FURIN) gene promoter and subsequently regulated proinsulin processing
	FURIN appears to be the essential enzyme for the generation of kisspeptin (KISS1)
