Formulation: 200 µg of peptide in 200 µl TBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.1% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide

Shelf life (days): 1095

Notes: To be used in conjunction with Cayman’s PCSK9 (mouse) Polyclonal Antibody (Item No. 10008811) to block protein-antibody complex formation during immunochemical analysis of PCSK9. · Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) is a member of the subtilisin serine protease family with an important role in lipoprotein metabolism.{13178} Mutation in the PCSK9 gene is associated with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia which is characterized by an increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.{13158} PCSK9 overexpression in wild-type mice doubles the plasma total cholesterol, possibly through acceleration of the degradation of the LDL receptor.{13176,13178} PCSK9 mRNA is detected in various tissues such as liver, kidney, lung, spleen, jejunum, ileum, colon, and muscle with the highest expression in the liver.{13136} Human PCSK9 precursor is 692 amino acid in length with an estimated molecular weight of 74 kDa. This proprotein is self-cleaved to form a mature protein at around 63 kDa in the golgi.{13177}
