Each PACE4 isoform exhibits a unique restricted distribution. Isoform PACE4A-I is expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, but at comparatively higher levels in the liver. Isoform PACE4A-II is at least expressed in placenta. Isoform PACE4B was only found in the embryonic kidney cell line from which it was isolated. Isoform PACE4C and isoform PACE4D are expressed in placenta. Isoform PACE4E-I is expressed in cerebellum, placenta and pituitary. Isoform PACE4E-II is at least present in cerebellum.
[Isoform PACE4A-I]: Secreted.; [Isoform PACE4A-II]: Secreted.; [Isoform PACE4C]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Not secreted, remains probably in zymogen form in endoplasmic reticulum.; [Isoform PACE4CS]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Not secreted, remains probably in zymogen form in endoplasmic reticulum.; [Isoform PACE4E-I]: Endomembrane system; Peripheral membrane protein. Retained intracellularly probably through a hydrophobic cluster in their C-terminus.; [Isoform PACE4E-II]: Endomembrane system; Peripheral membrane protein. Retained intracellularly probably through a hydrophobic cluster in their C-term
