PITRM1 Antibody (Center) [APR03686G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This PITRM1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 490-518 amino acids from the Central region of human PITRM1.

Cellular Localisation: Mitochondrion matrix

Molecular Weight: 117413

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: PITRM1 (HGNC:17663)

Gene ID: 10531

Function: Metalloendopeptidase of the mitochondrial matrix that functions in peptide cleavage and degradation rather than in protein processing (PubMed:10360838, PubMed:16849325, PubMed:19196155, PubMed:24931469) . Has an ATP-independent activity (PubMed:16849325) . Specifically cleaves peptides in the range of 5 to 65 residues (PubMed:19196155) . Shows a preference for cleavage after small polar residues and before basic residues, but without any positional preference (PubMed:10360838, PubMed:19196155, PubMed:24931469) . Degrades the transit peptides of mitochondrial proteins after their cleavage (PubMed:19196155) . Also degrades other unstructured peptides (PubMed:19196155) . It is also able to degrade amyloid-beta protein 40, one of the peptides produced by APP processing, when it accumulates in mitochondrion (PubMed:16849325, PubMed:24931469) . It is a highly efficient protease, at least toward amyloid-beta protein 40 (PubMed:24931469) . Cleaves that peptide at a specific position and is probably not processive, releasing digested peptides intermediates that can be further cleaved subsequently (PubMed:24931469) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in muscle and heart compared to brain, pancreas, liver, lung and placenta

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
