Bio-activity
Immobilized Human LDL R, His Tag at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind Biotinylated Human (D374Y) PCSK9 with a linear range of 0.02-0.5 μg/mL. Immobilized Human LDL R, His Tag at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind Biotinylated Human PCSK9 with a linear range of
Molecular Mass
Recombinant Human LDLR Protein is fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, and has a calculated MW of 86 kDa. The reducing protein migrates as 95-110 kDa &125-140 kDa in SDS-PAGE due to glycosylation.
Background
Binds LDL, the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus in hepatocytes, but not through a direct interaction with viral proteins (PubMed:10535997, PubMed:12615904). Acts as a receptor for vesicular stomatitis virus (PubMed:23589850). In case of HIV-1 infection, may function as a receptor for extracellular Tat in neurons, mediating its internalization in uninfected cells (PubMed:11100124).
