Quantitate Human CPE - Extracellular with 19 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nCarboxypeptidase E (CPE) also known as carboxypeptidase H is an enzyme with a mass of about 53 kDa. It facilitates the removal of C-terminal amino acid residues from proteins and peptides. CPE is primarily expressed in endocrine and neuroendocrine tissues including the brain pituitary and pancreas. Its expression in these areas suggests significant involvement in the processing and regulation of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCPE influences the maturation of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters converting inactive precursors into active forms. CPE does not function as part of a larger complex but acts independently to cleave the C-terminal residues. Its activity plays a role in the biosynthesis of hormones like insulin and proinsulin regulating energy homeostasis and metabolic processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe activities of enzymes like CPE are integral to the prohormone and neuropeptide processing pathways. Within these pathways CPE works alongside other processing enzymes such as prohormone convertases to ensure proper hormone maturation and secretion. In these pathways CPE connects with proteins like chromogranin A which assists in the storage and trafficking of secretory granules in neuroendocrine cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nDysregulation of CPE has links to obesity and type 2 diabetes due to its role in peptide hormone processing. Altered CPE function can impair the maturation of insulin and other hormones contributing to these metabolic conditions. In addition relationships between CPE and other proteins such as proinsulin and insulin further highlight its significance in the pathology of these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843578679465,"sku":"ab309191","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab309191","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
