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: Human PCSK9, Fc Tag (PC9-H5256) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 31 - Gln 692 (Accession # Q8NBP7-1).

Format: Powder.

Tag: C-Fc.

Expression System: HEK293.

Expression Region: Gln 31 - Gln 692.

Conjugate: Unconjugated.

Molecular Weight: 13.8 kDa and 83.7 kDa.

Characteristics: This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc 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 13.8 kDa and 83.7 kDa respectively. The protein migrates as 16 kDa and 100 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Purity: 90%.

Buffer: PBS,  pH7.4.

Storage Conditions: -20℃.

Shipping Conditions: RT
