Proprotein Convertase, Subtilisin/Kexin-Type, 1, also known as PC1 or NEC1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1 gene. It is a neuroendocrine convertase that belongs to a family of subtilisin-like serine endoproteases that process large precursor proteins into mature bioactive products. By in situ hybridization, Seidah et al.(1991) mapped the gene to human chromosome 5q15-q21 and mouse chromosome 13. Ohagi et al.(1996) noted that PCSK1 initiates the sequential processing of proinsulin to insulin by cleaving the proinsulin molecule on the C-terminal side of the dibasic peptide, arg31-arg32, joining the B-chain and C-peptide. By observing the phenotypic features in patients with PCSK1 mutations, Jackson et al.(2003) concluded that human intestinal absorptive function is dependent on the enzymes activity.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Proprotein Convertase 1/3 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Proprotein Convertase 1/3 (DVFYNTKPYKHRDDR) was used as the immunogen for this Proprotein Convertase 1/3 antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
After reconstitution, the Proprotein Convertase 1/3 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
