表达区间及表达系统（Source）
Rat PCSK9, His Tag (PC9-R52H4) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gln 31 - Gln 691 (Accession # P59996-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Gln 31
蛋白结构（Molecular Characterization）
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. This protein undergoes autocatalytic cleavage to release the pro-peptide and mature chain. The pro-peptide and mature chain are associated through non‑covalent interactions and with a calculated MW of 13.9 kDa and 59.3 kDa respectively. The protein migrates as 16 kDa and 60-66 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
内毒素（Endotoxin）
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
纯度（Purity）
>95% as determined by reduced SDS-PAGE.
制剂（Formulation）
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH7.5. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Protocol
背景（Background）
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the PCSK9 gene.This gene encodes a proprotein convertase belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family. 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).
