Abstract

Mature 53 kDa histidine decarboxylase (HDC) peptide is produced from a precursor 74 kDa peptide. The mechanism of specific cleavage by processing enzyme is unknown. Using the recombinant mouse 74 kDa HDC, we found that porcine pancreatic elastase specifically converted the inactive 74 kDa HDC to its active form of 53 kDa HDC.
