Popis

General description

PCSK9 protein is an important protein in the regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. PCSK9 binds various lipid receptor protein members including low density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR), very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), apolipoprotein E receptor (LRP1/APOER) and apolipoprotein receptor 2 (LRP8/APOER2) and promotes their degradation or sequestration. In neurons, PCSK9 regulates neuronal apoptosis via modulation of LRP8/APOER2 levels and related anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. PCSK9 is localized in cytoplasm but it is also secreted and thus can be found in endosomes, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi as well. PCSK9 is expressed in normal cells such as Schwann cells and pancreatic epithelial cells but PCSK9 is also expressed in many cancers and cancer cells lines as well.

Physical form

Antigen Affinity Purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing PBS with 0.05% sodium azide with 30% glycerol.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to lot specific datasheet.
