Prohormone Convertase 1/3 Is Essential for Processing of the Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Precursor

The physiology of the incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and their role in type 2 diabetes currently attract great interest. Recently we reported an essential role for prohormone convertase (PC) 1/3 in the cleavage of intestinal proglucagon, resulting in formation of GLP-1, as demonstrated in PC1/3-deficient mice. However, little is known about the endoproteolytic processing of the GIP precursor. This study investigates the processing of proGIP in PC1/3 and PC2 null mice and in cell lines using adenovirus-mediated overexpression. Supporting role for PC1/3 in proGIP we of GIP and PC1/3 PC2 in intestinal and of intestinal PC1/3-deficient demonstrated processing processing GIP in mice. of in the cell of PC1/3 and of PC2 in of of and PC1/3 in PC2 and of in and the cell PC2 PC2 processing GIP in intestinal PC1/3 is essential and for the of the intestinal incretin of in intestinal proGIP processing and is in intestinal The physiology of the incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and their role in type 2 diabetes currently attract great interest.
