Scientific Data Images for Mouse/Rat Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 Antibody
Detection of Mouse and Rat Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of mouse liver tissue and rat embryonic cortical neuron. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse/Rat Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3985) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 at approximately 74 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 7.Detection of Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9 by Western Blot
AAV-delivery of NmeCas9 for in vivo genome editing. a Experimental outline of AAV8-sgRNA-hNmeCas9 vector tail-vein injections to target Pcsk9 (sgPcsk9) and Rosa26 (sgRosa26) in C57Bl/6 mice. Mice were sacrificed at 14 (n = 1) or 50 days (n = 5) post injection and liver tissues were harvested. Blood sera were collected at days 0, 25, and 50 post injection for cholesterol level measurement. b Serum cholesterol levels. p values are calculated by unpaired t test. cStacked histogram showing the percentage distribution of indels at Pcsk9 or Rosa26 in livers of mice, as measured by targeted deep-sequencing analyses. Data are presented as mean ± SD from five mice per cohort. d A representative anti-PCSK9 western blot using total protein collected from day 50 mouse liver homogenates. A total of 2 ng of recombinant mouse PCSK9 (r-PCSK9) was included as a mobility standard. The asterisk indicates a cross-reacting protein that is larger than the control recombinant protein Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30231914), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Infection of cardiomyocytes with human PCSK9. Serum-free cultured adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were infected with hPCSK9. Infection of cardiomyocytes with LacZ served as control. After 24 h, load free cell shortening was measured (cells paced at 2 Hz). a Representative immunoblot indicating the successful transfection of cardiomyocytes with hPCSK9. b Quantification of Western Blot shown in (a). c Load free cell-shortening expressed as deltaL/L (%), (d) contraction velocity (µm/s) (e) and relaxation velocity (µm/s) of 89 (LacZ) and 90 (PCSK9) cells (10 independent experiments with intraassay variability p > 0.05). Statistical analysis was performed by Mann–Whitney test. *p ≤ 0.05.

Background: Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9
PC9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin type 9; also PCSK9 and NARC-1) is a 70‑74 kDa, secreted glycoprotein member of the proteinase K subfamily of subtilases. PC9 functions as a protease that cleaves proproteins at non-basic residues. It also binds to, and promotes, the degradation of LDLR, VLDLR and ApoER2. The mouse PC9 precursor is 694 amino acid (aa) in length, and contains a signal sequence, a 14 kDa, 121 aa prodomain (aa 35‑155), and a 56‑58 kDa, 539 aa mature region (aa 156‑694). The 58 kDa mature region arises from autocatalysis in the ER, and contains a subtilisin-like catalytic domain (aa 166‑432), a modified P-domain (aa 433‑529) and a C-terminal Cys-rich region (aa 530‑694). The prosegment and mature regions remain noncovalently associated. There is one additional PC9 isoform that shows an alternative start site 13 aa upstream of the standard site coupled to a deletion of aa 18‑20. Over aa 156‑694, mouse PC9 shares 93% and 79% aa identity with rat and human PC9, respectively.
