- Description
- These mutations define areas outside the direct interaction area between PCSK9 and the LDL-R that could be targeted to inhibit the PCSK9 triggered degradation of the LDL-R. We also describe the mechanistic rationalisation of the affinity changes seen with the natural occurring human D374Y (gain of function) mutation causing severe hypercholesterolaemia.
