Relevance

PCSK9 is a proprotein convertase belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family. PCSK9 is synthesized as a soluble zymogen that undergoes autocatalytic intramolecular processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. PCSK9 may function as a proprotein convertase. PCSK9 plays a role in cholesterol homeostasis and may have a role in the differentiation of cortical neurons. Mutations in PCSK9 gene have been associated with a third form of autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - PCSK9 antibody (ab52754)
ICC/IF image of ab52754 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab52754, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
