Description
Hamster PCSK9 Protein, His Tag | PC9-H52E4-1mg| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe
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: Hamster PCSK9, His Tag (PC9-H52E4) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 30 - Ser 691 (Accession # G3GTK5).
Format: Powder.
Tag: C-10×His.
Expression System: HEK293.
Expression Region: Gln 30 - Ser 691.
Conjugate: Unconjugated.
Molecular Weight: 13.9 kDa and 59.0 kDa.
Characteristics: This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. 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 59.0 kDa respectively. The protein migrates as 18 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
