Biological function

PCSK9 is a secreted regulator of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. It binds LDL receptor-family members, including LDLR, and promotes their degradation, reducing receptor recycling to the cell surface.

Research context

PCSK9 is widely studied in cholesterol metabolism, LDLR trafficking, cardiovascular biology and lipid-regulation models. Reagent selection should consider species, sample type, assay format, application and supporting validation.
