Target Details

Target: PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/kexin Type 9 (PCSK9))

Alternative Name: PCSK9 (PCSK9 Products)

Background: 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.

Molecular Weight: predicted molecular mass of 97.2 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of PCSK9-hFc is 100-130 kDa due to glycosylation.
