DOI: 10.1002/clc.22687
Abstract: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) downregulates low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, thereby leading to a rise in circulating LDL cholesterol (LDL‐C). RG7652 is a fully human monoclonal antibody against PCSK9. This placebo‐controlled, phase 1 ascending‐dose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2019.03.018
Abstract: ABSTRACT Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type‐9 (PCSK9) is most recognized serine protease for its role in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). PCSK9 regulates plasma low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) levels by selectively targeting hepatic LDL receptors (LDLR) for degradation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(17)33548-9
Abstract: Background: Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) have shown reductions in LDL-C levels in patients uncontrolled by statin and/or ezetimibe therapy. read more here.
