Background of Proprotein Convertase 9/PCSK9

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, also known as PCSK9, is an enzyme that 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. By genomic sequence analysis, PCSK9 was mapped to chromosome 1p32. This gene is a crucial player in the regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. It may prevent the recycling of LDLR from endosomes to the cell surface or direct it to lysosomes for degradation. PCSK9 can induce ubiquitination of LDLR leading to its subsequent degradation. This gene is involved in the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of BACE1 in the early secretory pathway.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of PCSK9 using anti-PCSK9 antibody (PA2130).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human A431 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human HepG2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human MCF-7 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-PCSK9 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PA2130) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for PCSK9 at approximately 66 kDa. The expected band size for PCSK9 is at 74 kDa.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of PCSK9 using anti-PCSK9 antibody (PA2130).
PCSK9 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human liver cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit anti-PCSK9 Antibody (PA2130) overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (Catalog # SV0002) with DAB as the chromogen.
