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.jacl.2019.12.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND Monoclonal antibodies to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) significantly lower the levels of low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), but their effect on postprandial lipoprotein metabolism in dyslipidemic subjects is unclear. OBJECTIVE This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2021.02.005
Abstract: BACKGROUND Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 (PCSK9) is an enzyme promoting the degradation of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDL-R) in hepatocytes. Inhibition of PCSK9 has emerged as a novel target for lipid-lowering therapy. Monocytes are crucially involved… read more here.
