| Biochem/physiol Actions: | PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin Type 9) promotes lysosomal degradation of LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor), VLDL (very low density lipoprotein receptor) and LRP (LDL related protein) to cause clearance of plasma cholesterol. On the other hand, PCSK9 also stimulates the release of chylomicron in intestinal cells. Lower intracellular cholesterol and mutations such as gain of function stimulates the expression of PCSK9. Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia is a result of high LDLR-degradation caused due to mutated PCSK9. PCSK9 is known to prevent the entry and replication of hepatitis C virus. PCSK9 expression is observed in atherosclerotic plaques. |
