SCG5

Neuroendocrine protein 7B2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCG5 gene. The protein expressed by this gene is widely distributed in neuroendocrine tissues. It functions as a chaperone protein for the proprotein convertase PC2 by blocking the aggregation of this protein and is required for the production of an active PC2 enzyme. It is an intrinsically disordered protein that may also function as a chaperone for other proteins in addition to proPC2.
