What Is PRCP and Why Is It Studied?
Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is a lysosomal serine protease that cleaves C-terminal amino acids adjacent to proline residues. It plays roles in the regulation of the kallikrein-kinin system, the renin-angiotensin system, and neuropeptide processing. Research interest in PRCP spans cardiovascular biology, metabolic regulation, and neurological studies. The PRCP Antibody (Ab351353) enables detection and characterization of endogenous PRCP protein in relevant experimental models.
Product Specifications and Formulation
The PRCP Antibody (Ab351353) is supplied in a PBS-only formulation (absea#OC-621), meaning the antibody is buffered in phosphate-buffered saline without the addition of stabilizers such as BSA or glycerol. Researchers should take note of this formulation when planning long-term storage or preparing working dilutions, as additional carrier proteins or cryoprotectants may need to be added depending on intended usage. Always refer to the product datasheet for the most current lot-specific concentration and purity information.
Recommended Storage and Handling
Because the PRCP Antibody is formulated in PBS only, proper storage is critical to maintaining antibody activity. General best practices for primary antibodies in PBS-only formulations include: storing the stock solution at -20°C for long-term preservation; avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles by preparing single-use aliquots; and keeping working dilutions at 4°C for short-term use (typically up to one week). Do not store at room temperature for extended periods. Always consult the specific product datasheet for lot-specific storage recommendations.
Typical Applications for PRCP Antibody
Primary antibodies targeting PRCP are commonly employed in techniques such as Western blotting (WB) for detecting PRCP protein expression, immunohistochemistry (IHC) for localization of PRCP in tissue sections, immunofluorescence (IF) for subcellular localization studies, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for quantitative detection. Specific validated applications for Ab351353 should be confirmed on the product datasheet, as performance may vary by application and species.

Frequently asked questions
What is the formulation of the PRCP Antibody (Ab351353)?
The PRCP Antibody (Ab351353) is supplied in a PBS-only formulation (referenced as absea#OC-621). It does not contain additional stabilizers such as BSA or glycerol, so researchers should plan storage and dilution strategies accordingly.
How should I store the PRCP Antibody to preserve its activity?
For a PBS-only antibody formulation, it is generally recommended to aliquot the stock upon receipt and store at -20°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Working dilutions may be kept at 4°C for short-term use. Always verify storage conditions on the lot-specific datasheet provided with the product.
Which experimental applications is the PRCP Antibody validated for?
Validated applications for Ab351353 should be confirmed directly on the Aladdin Scientific product datasheet, as application-specific validation data is lot-dependent.
