Extra Details:: Carboxypeptidase E cleaves C-terminal aa residues and is involved in neuropeptide processing. It is a peripheral membrane protein. CPE specifically binds regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones, but not constitutively secreted proteins. Carboxypeptidase E is found in neuroendocrine cells and in adrenal gland chromaffin cells. The glycoprotein can be both membrane-associated or soluble. At the C-end of the molecule lies an amphiphilic alpha-helix which might be responsible for the membrane localisation. Carboxypeptidase E is found in all species of vertebrates that have been examined, and is also present in many other organisms that have been studied. Interesting, carboxypeptidase E is not found in the fruit fly, and another enzyme fills in for carboxypeptidase E in this organism. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:100-1:5000 Western Blot: 1:50-400 Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:50-500 Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:10-100 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
