Function
Crucial player in the regulation of plasmacholesterol homeostasis. Binds to low-densitylipid receptor family members: low densitylipoprotein receptor (LDLR), very low densitylipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), apolipoprotein Ereceptor (LRP1/APOER) and apolipoproteinreceptor 2 (LRP8/APOER2), and promotestheir degradation in intracellular acidiccompartments (PubMed:18039658). Acts via anon- proteolytic mechanism to enhance thedegradation of the hepatic LDLR through aclathrin LDLRAP1/ARH-mediated pathway.May prevent the recycling of LDLR fromendosomes to the cell surface or direct it tolysosomes for degradation. Can induceubiquitination of LDLR leading to itssubsequent degradation (PubMed:18799458, PubMed:17461796,PubMed:18197702, PubMed:22074827).Inhibits intracellular degradation of APOB viathe autophagosome/lysosome pathway in aLDLR-independent manner. Involved in thedisposal of non-acetylated intermediates ofBACE1 in the early secretory pathway(PubMed:18660751). Inhibitsepithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC)-mediatedNa(+) absorption by reducing ENaC surfaceexpression primarily by increasing itsproteasomal degradation. Regulates neuronalapoptosis via modulation of LRP8/APOER2levels and related anti-apoptotic signalingpathways.
Cellular Location

Note=Autocatalytic cleavage isrequired to transport it from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus and for the secretion of the mature protein Localizes tothe endoplasmic reticulum in the absence of LDLR and colocalizes to the cell surface andto the endosomes/lysosomes in the presenceof LDLR. The sorting to the cell surface andendosomes is required in order to fullypromote LDLR degradation

Related Product Information for anti-PCSK9 antibody
PCSK9 is a proprotein convertase belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family. This protein is synthesized as a soluble zymogen that undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein may function as a proprotein convertase. The protein plays a role in cholesterol homeostasis and may have a role in the differentiation of cortical neurons.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Uniprot Description

PCSK9: Crucial player in the regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. Binds to low-density lipid receptor family members: low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), apolipoprotein E receptor (LRP1/APOER) and apolipoprotein receptor 2 (LRP8/APOER2), and promotes their degradation in intracellular acidic compartments. Acts via a non-proteolytic mechanism to enhance the degradation of the hepatic LDLR through a clathrin LDLRAP1/ARH-mediated pathway. May prevent the recycling of LDLR from endosomes to the cell surface or direct it to lysosomes for degradation. Can induce ubiquitination of LDLR leading to its subsequent degradation. Inhibits intracellular degradation of APOB via the autophagosome/lysosome pathway in a LDLR-independent manner. Involved in the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of BACE1 in the early secretory pathway. Inhibits epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC)-mediated Na(+) absorption by reducing ENaC surface expression primarily by increasing its proteasomal degradation. Regulates neuronal apoptosis via modulation of LRP8/APOER2 levels and related anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. Defects in PCSK9 are the cause of hypercholesterolemia autosomal dominant type 3 (HCHOLA3). A familial condition characterized by elevated circulating cholesterol contained in either low-density lipoproteins alone or also in very-low-density lipoproteins. Belongs to the peptidase S8 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

The PCSK9 pcsk9 (Catalog #AAA9213274) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 153-183. The PCSK9 Antibody (N-term) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PCSK9 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry-paraffin (IHC-P), Flow Cytometry (FC), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:10~50 FC~~1:10~50. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PCSK9 pcsk9 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PCSK9, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
