Carboxypeptidase A1 / CPA1 (Pancreatic Cancer Marker)(CPA1/2712) , Biotin conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

Carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) is a secreted zinc metalloprotease that is highly expressed in pancreatic tissue. It catalyzes the release of C-terminal amino acids from a variety of proteins , thereby playing a key role in protein digestion and degradation. Human pancreatic procarboxypeptidase A exists as three different active forms , two of which are carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) and carboxypeptidase A2 (CPA2). Abnormal levels of CPA1 are associated with pancreatic cancer , suggesting a possible role in either tumor progression or tumor suppression events. Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
