Furin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furin
Very interesting read. Amazing that someone recognized this and published it back in February 2020.

Seems to be a mistake as [13] says SARS-CoV doesn't have the furin cleavage site:
Furin is regulated by cholesterol and substrate presentation. When cholesterol is high, furin traffics to GM1 lipid rafts. When cholesterol is low, furin traffics to the disordered region[16]. This is speculated to contribute to cholesterol and age dependent priming of SARS-CoV.
Also the age-dependent argument seems upside down. As we age cholesterol levels rise. More cholesterol implies more GM1 lipid rafts to sequester furin and so less cleaving of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins.

Can TN-Grid expand the genes involved in furin and its regultion???

I just checked, we have 7 isoforms of the FURIN gene inside our FANTOM db, I just put them on our queue at high priority, you should see them soon floating around.

It's great that you as project lead always react to new circumstances rather swiftly! Much appreciated!

Hey valterc, I just saw this Reuters article (published 12/11) talking about 5 genes that are currently thought of as potential/partial cause for very severe courses of SARS-CoV-2. The article names the following genes: IFNAR2, TYK2, OAS1, DPP9 and CCR2.

Did we already expand those gene networks or can they skip the queue if not?

Five key genes linked to severe COVID-19 found, suggesting drug targets This research is also published in the journal Nature
