Propeptide

Propeptide

The part of a protein that is proteolytically cleaved during the protein's maturation, e.g. the internal residues of proinsulin, the N-terminal residues of pepsinogen. The term is usually not used for a signal peptides, but for the peptides removed from protein precursors that can be isolated and that have a reasonably long half-life.
