Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin 9 (PCSK9) have been associated with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia. In vivo kinetic studies indicate that LDL catabolism was impaired and apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoprotein synthesis was enhanced in two patients presenting with the S127R mutation on PCSK9. To understand the physiological role of PCSK9, we overexpressed human PCSK9 in mouse...
