Proprotein convertase 2 is a serine protease and proprotein convertase PC2, like proprotein convertase 1 (PC1), is an enzyme responsible for the first step in the maturation of many neuroendocrine peptides from their precursors, such as the conversion of proinsulin to insulin intermediates. To generate the bioactive form of insulin (and many other peptides), a second step involving the removal of C-terminal basic residues is required; this step is mediated by carboxypeptidases E and/or D. PC2 plays only a minor role in the first step of insulin biosynthesis, but a greater role in the first step of glucagon biosynthesis compared to PC1. PC2 binds to the neuroendocrine protein named 7B2, and if this protein is not present, proPC2 cannot become enzymatically active.
Human Neuroendocrine convertase 2 (PCSK2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PCSK2 in samples. An antibody specific for PCSK2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPCSK2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PCSK2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PCSK2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
