peptide bond cleavage involved in epidermal growth factor receptor ligand maturation

id: GO:0038005
name: peptide bond cleavage involved in epidermal growth factor receptor ligand maturation
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The hydrolysis of a peptide bond or bonds within a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, as part of protein maturation, the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. In Drosophila for example, in the Golgi apparatus of the signal producing cell, Spitz is cleaved within its transmembrane domain to release a functional soluble extracellular fragment.
