Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Neuroendocrine convertase 1(PCSK1) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat.
Background: PCSK1(Proprotein Convertase, Subtilisin/Kexin-Type, 1), also known as PC1 or NEC1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1 gene. Proprotein convertase-1 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 NEC1 gene to human chromosome 5q15-q21 and mouse chromosome 13. Ohagi et al.(1996) noted that PC1 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 PC1 mutations, Jackson et al.(2003) concluded that human intestinal absorptive function is dependent on PC1 activity
