Neurotensin (NT) is synthesized as part of a larger precursor that also contains neuromedin N (NN), a six amino acid neurotensin-like peptide. NT and NN are located in the C-terminal region of the precursor (pro-NT/NN) where they are flanked and separated by three Lys-Arg sequences. A fourth dibasic sequence is present in the middle of the precursor. Dibasics are the consensus sites recognized and cleaved by endoproteases that belong to the recently identified family of pro-protein convertases… CONTINUE READING
