Rabbit anti-Mouse, Rat Proprotein convertase PC4 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-PCSK4 antibody
Anti-Proprotein convertase PC4 antibody
Background: PCSK4(Proprotein Convertase, Subtilisin/Kexin-Type, 4), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK4 gene. The gene for PC4(Pcsk4 locus) was mapped to mouse chromosome 10, close to the adipsin locus and near the gene encoding anti-mullerian hormone. Qiu et al.(2005) found that aberrant processing of pro-IGF2 by PC4 may be a cause of IUGR. PC4 cleaved pro-IGF2 to generate the intermediate processed form, IGF2(1-102). Mature IGF2(1-67), likely resulting from further processing by carboxypeptidases, is capable of activating invasive trophoblast cells through AKT phosphorylation. Inhibition of PC4 by a PC4-specific inhibitor blocked pro-IGF2 processing and reduced trophoblast cell migration.

Product Notes
The PCSK4 pcsk4 (Catalog #AAA176322) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Proprotein convertase PC4 antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Proprotein convertase PC4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PCSK4 pcsk4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Proprotein convertase PC4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
