Score is the Open Targets composite evidence score (0-1). Higher = stronger gene-disease association.

Protein function (UniProt)

Neuroendocrine convertase 1

Involved in the processing of hormone and other protein precursors at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues. Substrates include POMC, renin, oxytocin, vasopressin, enkephalin, dynorphin, somatostatin, insulin and AGRP
