PCPE-1 Antibody (7A11/5): sc-73000

PCPE-1 Antibody (7A11/5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer 1 (PCPE-1) in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). PCPE-1 plays a crucial role in the extracellular matrix by enhancing the activity of procollagen C-proteinase, which is essential for proper processing of procollagen into mature collagen fibrils. PCPE-1 is primarily located in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues, particularly in areas rich in type I collagen, such as skin and tendon, where PCPE-1 contributes to structural integrity and mechanical properties of these tissues. PCPE-1 is vital for maintaining the balance of collagen synthesis and degradation, which is important for tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, PCPE-1 interacts with tolloid metalloproteinases, further underscoring PCPE-1′s significance in collagen maturation and overall extracellular matrix remodeling process. With an ability to modulate collagen processing, PCPE-1 is a key player in various physiological and pathological conditions, making anti-PCPE-1 antibody (7A11/5) an invaluable tool for researchers studying collagen-related diseases and tissue engineering applications.

The preferred PCPE-1 antibody is PCPE-1 Antibody (10D9): sc-73002.
