Immunofluorescent staining of PECR using anti-PECR antibody (red). PECR was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human liver cancer 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 5 ug/ml rabbit anti-PECR antibody overnight at 4oC. Cy3 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC. The section was counterstained with DAPI nuclear stain (blue). Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.
Western blot analysis of PECR using anti-PECR antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. Lane 1: rat liver tissue lysates, Lane 2: rat kidney 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-PECR 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 an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate. A dominant band is detected between an approximately 28 and 30 kDa in both tissues, running slightly below the predicted ~33 kDa mass. This is consistent with the processed mature form of the peroxisomal enzyme PECR, which is expected to migrate a few kilodaltons lower than the 32-33 kDa precursor in vivo.

Description

PECR antibody detects Peroxisomal trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, an oxidoreductase enzyme that participates in the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. The UniProt recommended name is Peroxisomal trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (PECR). This enzyme catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl-CoA intermediates to acyl-CoA during the chain elongation and degradation of fatty acids, thereby maintaining lipid homeostasis and energy balance.

Functionally, PECR antibody identifies a 303-amino-acid peroxisomal matrix enzyme encoded by the PECR gene, which contributes to the reduction step of unsaturated fatty acid metabolism. PECR participates in both peroxisomal beta-oxidation and fatty acid elongation cycles, converting trans-2-enoyl-CoA substrates into saturated acyl-CoA derivatives for further processing. It plays a critical role in maintaining normal lipid composition within cellular membranes and is essential for the metabolism of very long-chain and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The PECR gene is located on chromosome 2q35 and is expressed in liver, kidney, brain, and skeletal muscle. Its expression is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), linking it to lipid metabolism and oxidative stress responses. The enzyme's localization to peroxisomes allows it to cooperate with other beta-oxidation enzymes such as ACOX1 and HSD17B4.

Pathologically, PECR dysfunction or mutation has been associated with metabolic abnormalities and neurodegenerative disease. Variants in PECR can lead to abnormal lipid accumulation and impaired energy metabolism, contributing to disorders such as Refsum-like disease and retinal dystrophy. Research using PECR antibody supports studies in lipid metabolism, peroxisomal function, and oxidative stress regulation.

PECR antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to detect peroxisomal enzymes. NSJ Bioreagents provides PECR antibody reagents optimized for studies in fatty acid oxidation, lipid homeostasis, and metabolic enzyme regulation.

Structurally, Peroxisomal trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family and contains conserved catalytic motifs (TGxxxGxG and YxxxK) required for NADPH binding and substrate reduction. The enzyme forms homotetramers within peroxisomes and contributes to redox balance via NADPH utilization. This antibody allows investigation of PECR's role in peroxisomal metabolism, energy balance, and cellular redox homeostasis.

Application Notes

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

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human PECR was used as the immunogen for the PECR antibody.

Storage

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