Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

The protein PCSK2 also known as proprotein convertase 2 is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 75 kDa. It functions by processing various precursor proteins into their active forms. PCSK2 belongs to the family of serine proteases and is mainly expressed in endocrine and neuroendocrine tissues including the pituitary gland kidneys and pancreas. This protein is important in the maturation of peptide hormones and neuropeptides impacting physiological functions.
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.

PCSK2 is associated with conditions like diabetes and obesity due to its role in processing hormones that regulate metabolism. Dysregulation or mutations in the PCSK2 gene can disrupt insulin and glucagon maturation leading to imbalances in blood sugar levels. Additionally variations in PCSK2 may influence fat storage and energy expenditure contributing to obesity. The interaction between PCSK2 and insulin-related pathways highlights its importance in maintaining metabolic health.
