Designing a Western blot for Pcsk9? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the PCSK9 Western Blot GuideFacts about Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9.
Acts via a non-proteolytic mechanism to enhance the degradation of the hepatic LDLR through a clathrin LDLRAP1/ARH-mediated pathway. May stop the recycling of LDLR from endosomes to the cell surface or guide it to lysosomes for degradation.
