Synthetic peptide corresponding to C-TDWIYRQMRADG, from human TMPRSS2, at the internal region of the protein (NP_005647.2).
TMPRSS2 is a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. The protein contains a type II transmembrane domain, a receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain and a protease domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Its gene was demonstrated to be up-regulated by androgenic hormones in prostate cancer cells and down-regulated in androgen-independent prostate cancer tissue. The protease domain of this protein is thought to be cleaved and secreted into cell media after autocleavage. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:8000 Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml, observed in human pancreas lysates on ~55kD bands Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
