Recombinant Human PCSK9 protein, Strep-tagged

• Cat.No.: PCSK9-351H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human PCSK9 protein (Gln31-Gln692), fused to Strep tag at C-terminus, was expressed in human 293 cells (HEK293).

Specification

• 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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a rare form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (HCHOLA3).
• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: Strep
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4, 10% trehalose.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 73.5 kDa. The protein migrates as 17 kDa and 62-67 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation and proteolytic digestion.
• Protein length: 662
• Endotoxin: Less than 1.0 EU per ug by the LAL method.
• Purity: >97% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20 centigrade or lower.
  Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade to -70 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state;
  -70 centigrade 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.
