Furin is the major pro-BMP10 cleaving enzyme in hepatocytes. Primary hepatocytes isolated from WT mice and those lacking PC5/6 (PC5/6-KO) or furin (Fur-KO) in hepatocytes (22) were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing no protein (vector) or (ProtC)-BMP10. Processing of pro-BMP10 into its prosegment was analyzed in 48-h conditioned medium by immunoprecipitation (IP) with a rabbit ProtC-Ab followed by Western blotting (WB) using the same antibody. The percentages (%) of cleavages in this particular experiment are indicated, along with the average % cleavage and S.D. values of two independent experiments.
