| Description : |
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), is an enzyme which 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. 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.[1] Mutations in this gene have been associated with a rare form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (HCHOLA3).[2-3] |
| Form : |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose are added as protectants before lyophilization. |
| Molecular Mass : |
PCSK9, Heavy Labeled, fused with 6×His tag at the C-terminus, has a calculated MW of 75.1 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is Gln 31. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 20 kDa and 62 kDa due to glycosylation and proteolytic digestion. |
| Endotoxin : |
Less than 1.0 EU per μg of the PCSK9, Heavy Labeled by the LAL method. |
| Purity : |
>97% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Storage : |
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.No activity loss was observed after storage at:In lyophilized state for 1 year (4oC-8oC); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 1 month (4oC-8oC) or 3 months (-20oC to -70oC). |
