Statins and Ezetimibe Modulate Plasma Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin-9 (PCSK9) Levels
PCSK9 is a natural inhibitor of the LDL receptor. Gain-of-function mutations may cause the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype, whereas loss-of-function variants associate with reduced LDL-C levels and lower coronary risk. Statins up-regulate PCSK9 in hepatocytes. We developed an assay to measur...
