Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) ELISA Kit (HUFI04746)

Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is a pre-coated immunoassay with a high sensitivity and broad range and has been designed to measure Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) in serum, plasma & cell culture supernatant samples. The Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) ELISA Kit accurately measures natural Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) levels quantified versus standard curves obtained and is based on antibodies raised against a recombinant Human ProSAAS/PCSK1N (granin-like neuroendocrine peptide) peptide. Protein function: May function in the control of the neuroendocrine secretory pathway. Proposed be a specific endogenous inhibitor of PCSK1. ProSAAS and Big PEN-LEN, both containing the C-terminal inhibitory domain, but not the further processed peptides reduce PCSK1 activity in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. It reduces the activity of the 84 kDa form but not the autocatalytically derived 66 kDa form of PCSK1. Subsequent processing of proSAAS may eliminate the inhibition. Slows down convertase-mediated processing of proopiomelanocortin and proenkephalin. May control the intracellular timing of PCSK1 rather than its total level of activity. The function of the processed secreted peptides is not known. [The UniProt Consortium]
