<p>PCSK1 encodes for preprotein convertase TYPE I, which is regarded as the most important enzyme in the first step of insulin processing in humans. Since our model organism P. pastoris lacks this enzyme it is hypothesized that its addition will increase over the lineage.</p> | <p>PCSK1 encodes for preprotein convertase TYPE I, which is regarded as the most important enzyme in the first step of insulin processing in humans.
