Extra Details:: PCSK7 (PC7) is a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family (1,2). Like other members of the family, the protein cleaves precursors at basic amino acids within the motif Arg/Lys-Xn-Arg↓ (n=2 or 4). PC7 was reported to be localized in the trans-golgi network, at the cell surface, and in recycling vesicles (2,3). One function of PCSK7 is its critical role in growth factors processing, for example proEGF to EGF, proVEGF-C to VEGF-C, and BDNF neuropeptide maturation. PCSK7 is also involved in transferrin receptor shedding to regulate ion homeostasis (7,8) and MHC class I stability to regulate antigen presentation in the immunoresponse process (9). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight. Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
