Studies of the autoinhibitory segment comprising residues 31–60 of the prodomain of PCSK9: Possible implications for the mechanism underlying gain-of-function mutations

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) binds to the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) at the cell surface and is internalized as a complex with the LDLR. In the acidic milieu of the sorting endosome, PCSK9 remains bound to the LDLR and prevents the LDLR from folding over itself...
