Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an enzyme encoded by the PCSK9 gene in humans on chromosome 1. It is the 9th member of the proprotein convertase family of proteins that activate other proteins. Similar genes (orthologs) are found across many species. As with many proteins, PCSK9 is inactive when first synthesized, because a section of peptide chains blocks their activity; proprotein convertases remove that section to activate the enzyme. The PCSK9 gene also contains one of 27 loci associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.

PCSK9 identifies proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 in Homo sapiens (Human). This target record connects NCBI Gene 255738, UniProtKB Q8NBP7 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.
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.
