Product Type
Fc Silent Antibody
Description
The antibody Fc domain is responsible for the function in the antibody, while the Fab domain is responsible for targeting. Therefore, Fc engineering represents the engineering function of antibodies, which are effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and control the serum half-life. Therefore, Fc engineering for immune silencing or further protein engineering is essential for immune cell binding to antibodies.
The Fc-silenced antibody provided by Creative Biolabs contains key point mutations that eliminate the binding of Fc receptors (FcγR, FcR), thereby eliminating the cytotoxic (ADCC) effector function of the antibody.

Official Name
PCSK9
Full Name
Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9
Background
This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
