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).
特徴
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 protein has a calculated MW of 13.9 kDa and 61.1 kDa.
The protein migrates as 16 kDa and 66 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
