cDNAs encoding full-length PCSK9 splicing variant or mutants inserted into a modified pJB02 vector with a C-terminal Flag-HIS6 or HIS6 tag, respectively. The resulting constructs used for transient transfection of HEK-293 cells | Homo sapiens |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
A443T | is expressed, processed, and secreted normally, and reduces cellular LDL uptake in a concentration-dependent like the wild-type | Homo sapiens |
additional information | splicing variant of PCSK9 with an in-frame deletion of the eighth exon of 58 amino acids. Expressed in multiple tissues, including liver, small intestine, prostate, uterus, brain, and adipose tissue. Unlike wild-type PCSK9, which is secreted, the splicing variant expressed in HEK-293 cells fails to process the prosegment intracellularly and thus is not secreted into the medium. Splicing variant does not change the LDLR protein levels | Homo sapiens |
N425S | is expressed, processed, and secreted normally, and reduces cellular LDL uptake in a concentration-dependent like the wild-type | Homo sapiens |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |

additional information | splicing variant of PCSK9 has no specific effect impacting wild-type PCSK9 function | Homo sapiens |
