PCOLCE

Fibrillar collagen types I-III are synthesized as precursor molecules known as procollagens. These precursors contain amino-and carboxyl-terminal peptide extensions known as N-and C-propeptides, respectively, which are cleaved, upon secretion of procollagen from the cell, to yield the mature triple helical, highly structured fibrils. This gene encodes a glycoprotein which binds and drives the enzymatic cleavage of type I procollagen and heightens C-proteinase activity.

Procollagen C-Endopeptidase Enhancer

Binds to the C-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen and enhances procollagen C-proteinase activity.
C-terminal processed part of PCPE (CT-PCPE) may have an metalloproteinase inhibitory activity.
