Biotinylated Mouse PCSK9 Protein, Avitag™,His Tag

Source : 

MABSol® Biotinylated Mouse PCSK9, Avitag,His Tag (PC9-M82E1) is expressed from human HEK293 cells. It contains AA Gln 35 - Gln 694 (Accession # AAH38085.1).

 

Molecule : PCSK9

 

Synonyms : PCSK9,FH3,HCHOLA3,LDLCQ1,NARC1,PC9

 

Format : Powder

 

Category : MABSol® Biotin Labeled Proteins

 

Accession : AAH38085.1

 

Storage : -20℃

 

Shipping condition : Powder,RT

 

Molecular Weight : 13.9 kDa and 61.0 kDa

 

Characteristics :

This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag. This protein undergoes autocatalytic cleavage to release the pro-peptide and mature chain. The pro-peptide and mature chain are associated through non‑covalent i

 

Endotoxin Level : Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

 

Buffer : PBS, pH7.4

 

Description :

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is also known as NARC1 (neural apoptosis regulated convertase), is a newly identified subtilase belonging to the peptidase S8 subfamily. Mouse PCSK9 is synthesized as a soluble zymogen, and undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, resulting in the cleavage of its propeptide that remains associated with the secreted active enzyme with a broad alkaline pH optimum. 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).
