Cpe ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKBB01295)

Description of target: CPE encodes carboxypeptidase E, a prohormone-processing exopeptidase found in secretory granules of endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. It is mapped to 8 B3.1; 8 32.3 cM. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, functional enzyme that cleaves the C-terminal basic residues of protein substrates. A missense mutation in this gene is responsible for the obesity phenotype in a mouse model known as the "fat mouse." Mice lacking the functional product of this gene exhibit impaired processing of multiple peptide hormones such as proinsulin, prodynorphin, proneurotensin, promelanin-concentrating hormone and pro-opiomelanocortin.;Species reactivity: Mouse;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <50pg/ml
