Background of Proprotein Convertase 1/PCSK1

PCSK1 (Proprotein Convertase, Subtilisin/Kexin-Type, 1), also known as PC1 or NEC1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1 gene. Proprotein convertase-1 is a neuroendocrine convertase that belongs to a family of subtilisin-like serine endoproteases that process large precursor proteins into mature bioactive products. By in situ hybridization, Seidah et al. (1991) mapped the NEC1 gene to human chromosome 5q15-q21 and mouse chromosome 13. Ohagi et al. (1996) noted that PC1 initiates the sequential processing of proinsulin to insulin by cleaving the proinsulin molecule on the C-terminal side of the dibasic peptide, arg31-arg32, joining the B-chain and C-peptide. By observing the phenotypic features in patients with PC1 mutations, Jackson et al. (2003) concluded that human intestinal absorptive function is dependent on PC1 activity.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of PC1/3/PCSK1 using anti-PC1/3/PCSK1 antibody (PA2084).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: Rat Liver Tissue Lysate
Lane 2: Rat Thymus Tissue Lysate
Lane 3: A549 Cell Lysate
Lane 4: HELA Cell Lysate
Lane 5: COLO320 Cell Lysate
Lane 6: PANC Cell Lysate
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-PC1/3/PCSK1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PA2084) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for PC1/3/PCSK1 at approximately 84KD. The expected band size for PC1/3/PCSK1 is at 84KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of PC1/3/PCSK1 using anti-PC1/3/PCSK1 antibody (PA2084).
PC1/3/PCSK1 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of rat intestine tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-PC1/3/PCSK1 Antibody (PA2084) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

PC1/3/PCSK1 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human colon cancer tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution ) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/mL rabbit anti-PC1/3/PCSK1 Antibody (PA2084) overnight at 4°C. Biotin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1003) was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using DyLight®488 Conjugated Avidin (BA1128). The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.
