Perkembangan Implikasi Biologi dan Klinis Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin-Kexin 9
Pada tahun 2003 Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin-Kexin 9 (PCSK9) berhasil diidentifikasi.1 PCSK9 berfungsi meningkatkan kadar LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C) melalui degradasi LDL Receptor (LDLR).2 Penemuan PCSK9 telah merevolusi serta merupakan perkembangan ...

Mouse Models of Human Proprotein Convertase Insufficiency
AbstractThe kexin-like proprotein convertases perform the initial proteolytic cleavages that ultimately generate a variety of different mature peptide and proteins, ranging from brain neuropeptides to endocrine peptide hormones, to structural proteins, among others.

The proprotein convertase furin in tumour progression [PDF]
Proprotein convertases are proteases that have been implicated in the activation of a wide variety of proteins. These proteins are generally synthesised as precursor proteins and require limited proteolysis for conversion into their mature bioactive counterparts.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) lower LDL cholesterol and may influence cancer through immunomodulatory pathways. However, their effect on human cancer incidence remains unknown. We conducted a retrospective, propensity score‐matched study (Clalit Health Services, Israel, 2010–2023) comparing PCSK9 ...

Evaluation of adropin indices and PCSK9 in non-diabetic men with severe obstructive sleep apnea
We aimed to investigate the relationship among proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), adropin levels, inflammation, and sleep variables in non-diabetic males with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Proprotein convertase genes in Xenopus development [PDF]
AbstractProprotein convertases (PCs) are a family of serine endoproteases that proteolytically activate many precursor proteins within various secretory pathway compartments. Loss‐of‐function studies have demonstrated a critical role for these proteases in embryonic patterning and adult homeostasis, yet little is known about how substrate selectivity ...

Abstract Aims Natriuretic peptide‐based pre‐heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre‐heart failure, has not been well established.

Secreted PCSK9 downregulates low density lipoprotein receptor through receptor-mediated endocytosis
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a protease that regulates low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) protein levels. The mechanisms of this action, however, remain to be defined.
