Furin or a related protease at the cell surface cleaves ANTXR1-bound pagA (Anthrax Protective Antigen, full-length). The larger cleavage product, pagA(197-794), remains bound to the receptor while a smaller product, pagA(30-196), is released into the extracellular space (Klimpel et al, 1992; Molloy et al. 1992).
