This Human Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5 (PCSK5) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PCSK5.

• Additional information:Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5 is an enzyme belongs to the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. The members of this family are proprotein convertases that process latent precursor proteins into their biologically active products. This encoded protein mediates posttranslational endoproteolytic processing for several integrin alpha subunits. It is thought to process prorenin, pro-membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase and HIV-1 glycoprotein gp160. Two alternatively spliced transcripts are described for this gene but only one has its full length nature known. Expressed in T-lymphocytes. Likely to represent a widespread endoprotease activity within the constitutive and regulated secretory pathway. Capable of cleavage at the RX(K/R)R consensus motif.
