The PCSK9 protein regulates cholesterol levels by degrading LDLR, VLDLR, LRP1/APOER, and LRP8/APOER2 receptors. It promotes LDLR degradation, inhibits recycling, induces ubiquitination, and affects APOB degradation. Additionally, PCSK9 influences BACE1 intermediates, ENaC surface expression, and neuronal apoptosis by modulating LRP8/APOER2 levels and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. PCSK9 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived PCSK9 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The PCSK9 protein regulates cholesterol levels by degrading LDLR, VLDLR, LRP1/APOER, and LRP8/APOER2 receptors. It promotes LDLR degradation, inhibits recycling, induces ubiquitination, and affects APOB degradation. Additionally, PCSK9 influences BACE1 intermediates, ENaC surface expression, and neuronal apoptosis by modulating LRP8/APOER2 levels and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. PCSK9 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived PCSK9 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The PCSK9 protein plays a pivotal role in the intricate regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. It engages with members of the low-density lipid receptor family, including low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), apolipoprotein E receptor (LRP1/APOER), and apolipoprotein receptor 2 (LRP8/APOER2), facilitating their degradation within intracellular acidic compartments. Operating through a non-proteolytic mechanism, PCSK9 enhances the degradation of hepatic LDLR via a clathrin LDLRAP1/ARH-mediated pathway and may impede LDLR recycling from endosomes to the cell surface, directing it to lysosomes for degradation. Moreover, PCSK9 induces ubiquitination of LDLR, leading to subsequent degradation, and inhibits the intracellular degradation of APOB through the autophagosome/lysosome pathway, independent of LDLR. Additionally, PCSK9 is implicated in the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of BACE1 in the early secretory pathway, hinders epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC)-mediated Na(+) absorption by increasing its proteasomal degradation, and modulates neuronal apoptosis by regulating LRP8/APOER2 levels and related anti-apoptotic signaling pathways.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.8.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
