Subtilisin-like eukaryotic endopeptidase with substrate specificity for consensus sequence Arg-X-Lys/Arg-Arg at the cleavage site. Furin is known to activate the haemagglutinin of fowl plague virus and will cleave the HIV envelope glycoprotein (gp160) into two portions, gp120 and gp41, a necessary step in making the virus fusion-competent.
