Proproteinska konvertaza 2 (PC2), (prohormonska konvertaza 2, neuroendokrinska konvertaza 2 (NEC2)) je serinska proteaza i proproteinska konvertaza PC2. Poput proproteinske konvertaze 1 (PC1), to je enzim odgovoran za prvi korak u maturaciji mnogih neuroendokrinih peptida iz njihovih prekursora, kao što je konverzija proinsulina u insulinske međuprodukte. Da bi se generisala bioaktivna forma insulina (i mnogih drugih peptida), sekundarni korak koji se sastoji od uklanjanja C-terminalnih baznih ostataka je neophodan. Taj korak je posredovan karboksipeptidazama E i/ili D. PC2 ima samo manju ulogu u prvom koraku biosinteze insulina, dok je njegova uloga značajnija u prvom stepenu biosinteze glukagona u poređenju sa PC1. PC2 se vezuje za neuroendokrini protein 7B2, i ako taj protein nije prisutan, proPC2 ne može da postane enzimatski aktivan. 7B2 takođe inhibira PC2 dejstvo dok se 7B2 ne ispreseca u manje neaktivne forme. Stoga je 7B2 aktivator i inhibitor PC2 enzima.
Kod čoveka, proproteinska konvertaza 2 je kodirana PCSK2 genom.[1] On je srodan sa bakterijskim enzimom subtilisinom. Sve zajedno postoji devet različitih subtilisinu-sličnih gena kod sisara: furin, PACE4, PC4, PC5/6, PC7/8, PCSK9 i SKI1/S1P.
