Pyruvate Carboxylase (PC, PCB, Pyruvate carboxylase, mitochondrial, Pyruvic carboxylase) (Control Peptide)

C-KFKEVKKAYVEANQ, from the internal region of human PC.\nControl peptide corresponding to polyclonal antibody, Catalog#P9543-95A, goat x mouse.\n\nThis gene encodes pyruvate carboxylase, which requires biotin and ATP to catalyse the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. The active enzyme is a homotetramer arranged in a tetrahedron which is located exclusively in the mitochondrial matrix. Pyruvate carboxylase is involved in gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, insulin secretion and synthesis of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Mutations in this gene have been associated with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5' UTRs, but encoding the same protein, have been found for this gene.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nPositive Conrol:\nMouse Liver lysates\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 monthsat -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.\n\nPeptide Blocking (see corresponding antibody P9543-95A):\nAntibodies are typically supplied at 0.5mg/ml and peptides as a 100ul pellet. When peptides are reconstituted in 200ul water, the concentration would be also 0.5mg/ml. To start, the best ratio would be 1:1 (which means molar excess of peptides relative to antibodies when identical volumes are mixed). Mix equal volumes of peptide and antibody at the required dilution and leave at ambient temperature. It is best is to have two identical blots, to be incubated with equal amount of antibodies, but one with the antibodies pre-adsorbed to the peptide for 20min. Then incubate and develop the two blots in parallel.
