Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes neuroendocrine convertase 1 (gene PCSK1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 84.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 84 kDa.
PC1/3 (PCSK1) is a proprotein convertase of the secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells. It cuts hormone precursors at paired basic residues, helping to produce active hormones such as insulin, ACTH from POMC and several neuropeptides; loss of PCSK1 causes a rare endocrine disorder with obesity.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
| Immunocytochemistry / Immunofluorescence | 2 µg/mL (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, rat thymus tissue, A549 cells, HeLa cells, COLO320 cells, PANC cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): rat intestine tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): human colon cancer tissue.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human PC1/3. The peptide sequence is conserved in mouse and rat.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places neuroendocrine convertase 1 in the cytoplasmic vesicle. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
