Molecular interactions of PCSK9 with an inhibitory nanobody, CAP1 and HLA-C: functional regulation of LDLR levels
2022-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> The liver-derived circulating PCSK9 enhances the degradation of the LDL receptor (LDLR) in endosomes/lysosomes. PCSK9 inhibition or silencing is presently used in clinics worldwide to reduce LDL-cholesterol, resulting in lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and possibly cancer/metastasis. The mechanism by which the PCSK9-LDLR complex is sorted to degradation compartments...
