Description: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, also known as PCSK9, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK9 gene. This gene encodes a proprotein convertase belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family. By genomic sequence analysis, PCSK9 was mapped to chromosome 1p32. This gene is a crucial player in the regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. It may prevent the recycling of LDLR from endosomes to the cell surface or direct it to lysosomes for degradation. PCSK9 can induce ubiquitination of LDLR leading to its subsequent degradation. This gene is involved in the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of BACE1 in the early secretory pathway.
Immunogen: A human recombinant protein (amino acids S153-Q344) was used as the immunogen for the PCSK9 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the PCSK9 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
