Description
PGC Antibody (PACO03211)
The PGC Antibody (PACO3211) is a high-quality antibody designed for research involving Progastricsin (PGC), a precursor protein involved in the regulation of the digestive system. This polyclonal antibody, generated in rabbits, is specifically reactive against human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the PGC protein, researchers can detect and analyze this important molecule in various cell types, making it a valuable tool for studies in gastrointestinal health and diseases.
PGC is a key player in the digestive process, serving as a precursor to pepsin, an enzyme involved in breaking down proteins in the stomach. Understanding the role of PGC in regulating digestive function is essential for exploring its potential as a therapeutic target for gastrointestinal disorders. The PGC Antibody provides researchers with a reliable tool for investigating the expression and function of PGC in both normal and diseased tissues, advancing our knowledge of digestive physiology and pathology.

NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes an aspartic proteinase that belongs to the peptidase family A1. The encoded protein is a digestive enzyme that is produced in the stomach and constitutes a major component of the gastric mucosa. This protein is also secreted into the serum. This protein is synthesized as an inactive zymogen that includes a highly basic prosegment. This enzyme is converted into its active mature form at low pH by sequential cleavage of the prosegment that is carried out by the enzyme itself. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility to gastric cancers. Serum levels of this enzyme are used as a biomarker for certain gastric diseases including Helicobacter pylori related gastritis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] |
