PCSK9 [Biotinylated]: LDL R Inhibitor Screening ELISA Assay Pair | EP-103| 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) .

Molecule: PCSK9.

Format: Solid.

Species: Human.

Application: This pair is useful for screening for inhibitors of human PCSK9 binding to human LDL R.

Kit Component: This inhibitor screening ELISA pair is designed to facilitate the identification and characterization of new PCSK9 pathway inhibitors. This assay employs a simple colorimetric ELISA platform, which measures the binding between immobilized human LDL R and in-house developed biotinylated PCSK9 protein. This product is uniquely suitable for rapid high-throughput screening of putative PCSK9 inhibitors. Briefly, we provide you with a biotinylated human PCSK9 protein, a human LDL R protein, an anti-PCSK9 neutralizing antibody (as method verified Reference), and Streptavidin-HRP reagent.
