Precision
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%      
Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess.  
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%      
Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.    
             
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of rat PCSK9 in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)
Crucial player in the regulation of plasma cholesterol homeostasis. Binds to low-density lipid receptor family members: low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), apolipoprotein E receptor (LRP1/APOER) and apolipoprotein receptor 2 (LRP8/APOER2), and promotes their degradation in intracellular acidic compartments. Acts via a non-proteolytic mechanism to enhance the degradation of the hepatic LDLR through a clathrin LDLRAP1/ARH-mediated pathway. May prevent the recycling of LDLR from endosomes to the cell surface or direct it to lysosomes for degradation. Can induce ubiquitination of LDLR leading to its subsequent degradation. Inhibits intracellular degradation of APOB via the autophagosome/lysosome pathway in a LDLR-independent manner. Involved in the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of BACE1 in the early secretory pathway. Inhibits epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC)-mediated Na(+) absorption by reducing ENaC surface expression primarily by increasing its proteasomal degradation. Regulates neuronal apoptosis via modulation of LRP8/APOER2 levels and related anti-apoptotic signaling pathways.

  6. coordinated up-regulation of Pcsk9 and Srebf-2 genes expression suggests that SREBF-2 may play a key role in regulation of Pcsk9 gene expression, circulating PCSK9 level, and hypercholesterolemia in experimental CRF PMID: 26481479
  7. LDLR deficiency, hypercholesterolemia and elevated plasma LDL in NS are associated with upregulation of PCSK9 and IDOL. PMID: 24166456

  11. Phaleria macrocarpa fruit aqueous extract reduced body weight/improved blood lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic rats. The improvement is likely to be regulated by LDL receptor and PCSK9. PMID: 21763412
  12. Our functional characterization of Narc 1 reinforces the inference drawn that this enzyme is most closely related to representatives of the proteinase K family, but it is also sufficiently different to warrant its classification in a separate sub-family. PMID: 14622975
  13. Human, mouse, and rat PCSK9 promoters contain 2 typical conserved motifs for cholesterol regulation: a sterol regulatory element (SRE) and an Sp1 site. PMID: 15178557
  14. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is processed in the Endoplasmic Reticulum, and the mature convertase is secreted in the plasma. PMID: 16462892

  16. explaining the lack of reduction in LDL receptor protein levels. These observations indicate that the rate of LDL receptor cycling (function) in diabetic rats is decreased resulting in higher serum LDL levels. PMID: 18054320
  17. The hormonal and dietary regulation of hepatic LDLRs also involves posttranscriptional regulation by PCSK9. PMID: 19008317
