Abstract excerpt
Secreted PCSK9 binds to cell surface LDL receptor (LDLR) and directs the receptor for lysosomal degradation. PCSK9 is potent at inducing LDLR degradation in cultured liver-derived cells, but it is considerably less active in immortalized fibroblasts. We examined PCSK9 trafficking in SV-589 human skin fibroblasts incubated with purified recombinant wild-type PCSK9 or gain-of-function mutant PCSK9-D374Y with...
