Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is also known as NARC1 (neural apoptosis regulated convertase), is a newly identified subtilase belonging to the peptidase S8 subfamily. Mouse PCSK9 is synthesized as a soluble zymogen, and undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the cleavage of its propeptide that remains associated with the secreted active enzyme with a broad alkaline pH optimum. This protein plays a major regulatory role in cholesterol homeostasis. PCSK9 binds to the epidermal growth factor-like repeat A (EGF-A) domain of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), inducing LDLR degradation. PCSK9 may also have a role in the differentiation of cortical neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a rare form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (HCHOLA3).

Source: MABSol® Biotinylated Mouse PCSK9, Avitag, His Tag (PC9-M82E1) is expressed from human HEK293 cells. It contains AA Gln 35 - Gln 694 (Accession # AAH38085.1).

Format: Powder.

Tag: C-Avi & C-10×His.

Expression System: HEK293.

Expression Region: Gln 35 - Gln 694.

Conjugate: Biotin-labeled.

Molecular Weight: 13.9 kDa and 61.0 kDa.

Characteristics: This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag. This protein undergoes autocatalytic cleavage to release the pro-peptide and mature chain. The pro-peptide and mature chain are associated through non‑covalent interactions and with a calculated MW of 13.9 kDa and 61.0 kDa respectively. The protein migrates as 17 kDa and 65 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Purity: 95%.

Buffer: PBS, pH7.4.

Storage Conditions: -20℃.

Shipping Conditions: RT
