Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse PGPEP-1 Antibody

Detection of Human and Mouse PGPEP-1 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human and Mouse PGPEP‑1 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line, JAR human choriocarcinoma cell line, NTera-2 human testicular embryonic carcinoma cell line, Neuro-2A mouse neuroblastoma cell line, and human brain (cortex) tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human PGPEP-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6278) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for PGPEP-1 at approximately 23 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: PGPEP-1

Pyroglutamyl peptidase-1 (PGPEP-1) is an omega peptidase which removes pyroglutamyl residues from the amino termini of peptides and proteins (1). It is a cytosolic cysteine peptidase that is expressed in most cell types (2). The enzyme requires a thiol‑reducing agent for activity (3). PGPEP-1 is potentially involved in the inactivation of biologically active peptides that possess an amino terminal pyroglutamyl group (3). Examples of such peptides include neurotensin, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone. Human and mouse PGPEP-1 share 95% aa sequence identity.
