Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-PCSK2 antibody (AB3533)
Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescent analysis of PCSK2 (green) showing staining in the cytoplasm of HEK293 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with ab3533 in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1 : 100 and incubated overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody in PBS at room temperature in the dark. F-actin (red) was stained with a fluorescent red phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst or DAPI. Images were taken at a magnification of 60x.

Biological function summary
PCSK2 is responsible for activating various prohormones into their active hormone counterparts. It accomplishes this by cleaving specific sites on precursor proteins. PCSK2 does not operate as part of a complex but independently participates in proteolytic processing essential for proper hormone functioning. This enzyme's activity is critical for the synthesis of key hormones like insulin and glucagon which regulate glucose metabolism.
Pathways
PCSK2 is a significant part of hormone processing pathways. Specifically it contributes to the insulin-processing pathway which is important for energy regulation and homeostasis. PCSK2 works closely with related proteins such as PCSK1 (proprotein convertase 1) in the cleavage of precursor forms of various hormones. The coordinated action of these enzymes ensures the production of bioactive hormones required for normal metabolic functions.
