Abstract
⺠Prourotensin II is stably folded in acidic buffers containing calcium. ⺠The proprotein convertases (PC1 and PC2) cleave urotensin II from its precursor. ⺠Conditions for stable folding coincide with those for optimal cleavage of prourotensin II. ⺠Stable folding of precursor and optimal cleavage conditions facilitate efficient processing.
