表达区间及表达系统（Source）
MABSol® Biotinylated Human PCSK9, Avitag,His Tag (PC9-H82E7) is expressed from human HEK293 cells. It contains AA Gln 31 - Gln 692 (Accession # AAI66619).
Predicted N-terminus: Gln 31
蛋白结构（Molecular Characterization）
This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag.
The protein has a calculated MW of 72.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 20 kDa and 66 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation and proteolytic digestion.
标记（Biotinylation）
Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.
蛋白标记度（Biotin:Protein Ratio)
The biotin to protein ratio is 0.5-1 as determined by the HABA assay.
内毒素（Endotoxin）
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
纯度（Purity）
>92% as determined by reduced SDS-PAGE.
制剂（Formulation）
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

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).
