| Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant mouse LDLR comprises 780 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 85.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, it migarates as approximately 120-130 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
| predicted N | Ala 22 |
| SDS-PAGE |  |
| Purity | > 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse LDLR (NP_034830.2) precursor (Met 1-Arg 790) with substitution of Val 23 and Gly 27 by Ala 23 and Cys 27 respectively was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag. |
| Bio-activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Rat PCSK9 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated recombinant mouse LDLR . The EC50 of biotinylated mouse LDLR is 0.173 μg/ml. |
| Research Area | Cardiovascular |Lipids / Lipoproteins |Lipid Metabolism |Cholesterol Metabolism |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA. |
| Background | LDL Receptor, also known as LDLR, is a mosaic protein which belongs to the Low density lipoprotein receptor gene family. The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. LDL Receptor consists of 840 amino acids (after removal of signal peptide) and mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is normally bound at the cell membrane and taken into the cell ending up in lysosomes where the protein is degraded and the cholesterol is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. LDL Receptor is a cell-surface receptor that recognizes the apoprotein B100 which is embedded in the phospholipid outer layer of LDL particles. The receptor also recognizes the apoE protein found in chylomicron remnants and VLDL remnants. |
