Background of Carboxypeptidase E/CPE
CPE may play a role in post-translational processing of peptide hormones including preproopiomelanocortin. It is mapped to 16p13.This gene encodes a member of the M14 family of metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature peptidase. This peripheral membrane protein cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues and is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, including insulin. This protein may also function independently of its peptidase activity, as a neurotrophic factor that promotes neuronal survival, and as a sorting receptor that binds to regulated secretory pathway proteins, including prohormones. Mutations in this gene are implicated in type 2 diabetes.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Rat CPE/Carboxypeptidase E ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

7 Customer Q&As for Rat CPE/Carboxypeptidase E ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-06-14
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: can you tell me how to prepare cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-07-21
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can change immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: we need your recommendation regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of Carboxypeptidase E in Rat serum? I am trying to measure a multiple analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-03-29
Answer
A: having little idea about the physiological or pathological context of your samples we cannot recommend a dilution ratio without performing a pilot test with your samples. Here is how you can perform a pilot study on your own: perform a serial dilution of your samples on the Carboxypeptidase E ELISA kit to make sure you have a linear ascending curve followed by a plateau, which signifies the samples saturating the detection limit of the kit. Then you can pick the dilution ratios from samples in the linear part of the curve as your experimental dilution ratio.
If you are interested in using our ELISA service, you can also send us your sample and we will take care of everything for you. You can check our service details here: bosterbio.com/services/assay-services/ELISA-testing-service
Since you mentioned you have limited samples, our cost effective multiplex ELISA service would fit perfectly for your needs, where we can generate dozens of data points using as little as 25ul sample volume. Information on this service is also in the above link.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated Carboxypeptidase E antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the Carboxypeptidase E antigen?
L. Edwards
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-11-01
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring Carboxypeptidase E using the EK1889 Rat Carboxypeptidase E Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-02-26
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to prevent protein degradation.
