Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=Shuttles between the trans-Golgi network and the cell surface (PubMed:9412467, PubMed:11799113). Propeptide cleavage is a prerequisite for exit of furin molecules out of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A second cleavage within the propeptide occurs in the trans Golgi network (TGN), followed by the release of the propeptide and the activation of furin (PubMed:11799113). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11799113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9412467}.
