Immunohistochemical staining of CTRC using anti-CTRC antibody. CTRC was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of rat pancreas tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 ug/ml rabbit anti-CTRC antibody overnight at 4oC. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The tissue section was developed using an HRP secondary and DAB substrate.
Western blot analysis of CTRC using anti-CTRC antibody. Lane 1: human SiHa whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human THP-1 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: rat pancreas tissue lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-CTRC antibody at 0.5 ug/ml overnight at 4oC, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal was developed using enhanced chemiluminescent. CTRC western blot shows a predominant band at ~34 kDa, consistent with glycosylated chymotrypsin C migrating above its predicted ~29 kDa.

Description

CTRC antibody detects Chymotrypsin C, a digestive serine protease that regulates pancreatic enzyme activation and degradation. Encoded by the CTRC gene on chromosome 1p36.21, this enzyme is secreted by pancreatic acinar cells and plays a dual role in digestive proteolysis and zymogen activation control. CTRC contributes to the post-translational activation of trypsinogen and other pancreatic proteases while simultaneously degrading prematurely activated trypsin to prevent autodigestion and pancreatitis.

Structurally, Chymotrypsin C is synthesized as an inactive zymogen (chymotrypsinogen C) and activated by proteolytic cleavage in the small intestine. The mature enzyme is approximately 29 kilodaltons and contains a catalytic triad (His, Asp, Ser) characteristic of serine proteases. CTRC exhibits substrate specificity distinct from other chymotrypsins, favoring cleavage after bulky hydrophobic residues and acting on peptide bonds within pancreatic proenzymes and regulatory proteins.

The CTRC antibody is widely used in digestive biology, enzymology, and pancreatic disease research to study protease regulation, secretion, and zymogen activation. Western blot analysis detects a 29 kilodalton band corresponding to the active enzyme, while immunohistochemistry reveals cytoplasmic staining in pancreatic acinar cells. This antibody supports research on digestive enzyme control, pancreatitis pathogenesis, and exocrine pancreas physiology.

Mutations in CTRC are associated with hereditary chronic pancreatitis and idiopathic pancreatic inflammation, where loss of enzyme function impairs trypsin degradation, leading to excessive intrapancreatic activation. CTRC variants can also affect digestive efficiency and susceptibility to pancreatic stress. Beyond digestion, CTRC influences the proteolytic processing of hormones and growth factors, expanding its role in systemic protease regulation. The CTRC antibody provides a reliable tool for studying enzyme expression, activity regulation, and genetic variants linked to pancreatic disease. NSJ Bioreagents validates this antibody for its applications, ensuring accurate detection for digestive and enzymatic research.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the CTRC antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human CTRC was used as the immunogen for theCTRC antibody.

Storage

After reconstitution, the CTRC antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
