Active Recombinant Mouse Pcsk9 Protein, His-Avi-tagged, Biotinylated

• Cat.No.: Pcsk9-209M
• Product Overview: Biotinylated Mouse PCSK9 is expressed from HEK293 cells. It contains AA Gln 35 - Gln 694 (Accession # AAH38085.1). This protein carries an Avi tag at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Mouse
• Tag: His&Avi
• Predicted N Terminal: Gln 35
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4, 10% trehalose.
• Bio-activity: Immobilized Mouse LDL R, His Tag at 10 ug/mL (100 uL/well) can bind Biotinylated Mouse PCSK9, His Tag with a linear range of 2-16 ug/mL.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 74.9 kDa. The protein migrates as 20 kDa and 65 kDa on a SDS-PAGE gel under reducing condition due to glycosylation and proteolytic digestion.
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Characteristic: Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.
• Stability: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -70ºC.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20ºC or lower. Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. No activity loss is observed after storage at: 4-8ºC for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70ºC for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4℃ before opening to recover the entire contents.
• Protein length: Gln35-Gln694

Q&As

Is there a relationship between genetic mutations in the PCSK9 protein and cardiovascular disease?

Yes, some studies suggest that mutations in the PCSK9 protein gene may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. For example, some PCSK9 mutations can cause their dysfunction, resulting in hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease.

How can PCSK9 protein be used for vaccine development?

PCSK9 protein is combined with immune adjuvants to make a vaccine, or mutated PCSK9 protein to induce an immune response to it, inhibit PCSK9 expression in vivo, increase LDLR levels and reduce serum cholesterol levels.

What is the relationship between PCSK9 protein and obesity?

This protein may have a regulatory effect on weight and obesity, and it is associated with glucose and endocannabinin homeostasis studies have linked PCSK9 to the development of obesity and diabetes.

What are the new prospects for future therapies that inhibit PCSK9 protein?

Several new anti-PCSK9 drugs are already being studied and developed, including oral drugs and gene chromosome therapies, and some drugs have advanced to early stages of clinical trials, providing new options for the treatment of PCSK9 proteins.

What drugs are currently available to inhibit the PCSK9 protein?

Currently on the market to inhibit PCSK9 protein drugs include alirocumab and evolocumab.

What is the relationship between PCSK9 protein and hypercholesterolemia?

PCSK9 protein can degrade LDLR protein, so its overexpression will lead to a decrease in LDLR's ability to be cleared, leading to hypercholesterolemia.
