Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects prolyl endopeptidase (gene PREP) in human and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 80.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 81 kDa.
Prolyl endopeptidase (PREP, also called prolyl oligopeptidase) is a cytosolic serine protease that cuts short peptides on the carboxyl side of proline residues. It can process several proline-containing neuropeptides and peptide hormones, and it is studied in neuroscience, peptide metabolism and as a target of small-molecule inhibitors.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human, Rat) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human U937 cells, human HL-60 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, 30 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 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human breast cancer tissue, human liver cancer tissue, human pancreatic cancer tissue, human prostate cancer tissue, human skin cancer tissue, human tonsil tissue, 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 a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HL-60 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human PREP fragment (Met1–Glu227), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and rat. UniProt places prolyl endopeptidase in the cytoplasm. 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).
