'''PCSK9''' or '''Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9''' is a proteinase which is part of the cholesterol synthesis<ref>PMID:17502100</ref>. PCSK9 undergoes autocatalysis producing an active enzyme from its precursor. PCSK9 binds to EGF-A domain of the LDL receptor (LDLR) inducing its degradation. | '''PCSK9''' or '''Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9''' is a proteinase which is part of the cholesterol synthesis<ref>PMID:17502100</ref>.
