Human Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) ELISA Kit

Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP), also referred to as angiotensinase C, is a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase that selectively cleaves C-terminal amino acid residues adjacent to proline in bioactive peptide substrates. This Assay Genie ELISA kit delivers quantitative measurement of human PRCP in research applications, supporting investigations into cardiovascular regulation, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammatory signaling. PRCP is known to cleave angiotensin II and angiotensin III into angiotensin 1-7, inactivate bradykinin, and degrade α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), linking it to blood pressure control, obesity-related pathways, and energy homeostasis. The colorimetric 96-assay format accommodates plasma- and serum-based research samples as well as tissue homogenate preparations, providing flexibility across experimental designs. Each kit includes a pre-coated microplate along with the reagents required to run the assay, and the colorimetric readout is compatible with standard laboratory plate readers. Researchers studying hypertension, metabolic syndrome, obesity, or inflammation-related mechanisms can use this kit to quantify PRCP concentrations in well-characterized human-derived samples, contributing to mechanistic and biomarker studies in these fields.
