The endosomal-lysosomal mechanism is dependent on ARH adaptor protein-mediated internalization of the PCSK9 (C-form)-LDLr complex into the endocytic pathway.
“The endosomal-lysosomal mechanism is dependent on autosomal recessive hypercholesterolaemia (ARH) adaptor proteinmediated internalization of the PCSK9 (C-form)-LDLr complex into the endocytic pathway (Park et al, 2004;Qian et al, 2007).”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Park et al, 2004
The Results passage describing Fig. 6 reports that PCSK9 reduced hepatic LDLR protein even in mice lacking ARH. The Discussion likewise says the effect was not dependent on functional ARH and appeared to act before LDLR internalization, contrary to the claimed ARH-dependent mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.91)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPCSK9 remains bound to LDLR within the acidic endosomal environment, preventing the acid-induced conformational changes required for receptor recycling and directing the receptor towards lysosomal degradation.
“However, unlike LDL, PCSK9 remains bound to LDLR within the acidic endosomal environment, preventing the acid-induced conformational changes required for receptor recycling and thus directs the receptor towards lysosomal degradation.”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [13]
The Discussion (page unavailable) says PCSK9 appears to reduce LDLR through a mechanism acting before internalization and recycling, possibly while the receptor is moving to or is on the cell surface. Although it supports PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation, it places the effect before endosomal recycling rather than attributing it to persistent binding in acidic endosomes or blocked conformational changes. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe post-ER mechanism of PCSK9-mediated LDLr disposal requires the proteolytic activity of PCSK9.
“The post-ER mechanism requires the proteolytic activity of PCSK9, whereas the endosomallysosomal mechanism does not (Park et al, 2004;McNutt et al, 2007).”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Park et al, 2004
The Results passage under Fig. 2 reports that catalytically inactive PCSK9 did not reduce liver LDLR protein, suggesting dependence on a functional catalytic domain. But the same passage places LDLR reduction either between receptor synthesis in the ER and arrival at the cell surface or at the surface; it does not establish a specifically post-ER mechanism or show that proteolytic activity is required independently of PCSK9's autocatalytic processing. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPCSK9 is a secreted protein that binds to the LDLR ectodomain and promotes its degradation.
“One of the most well-documented mechanisms involves PCSK9 [13][14][15].PCSK9 binds to the ectodomain of LDLR at the cell surface and is internalized together with the receptor.”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [13]
The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that PCSK9 overexpression reduces LDLR protein, supporting the degradation part of the claim. But the Discussion leaves open whether PCSK9 acts as a secreted protein and says its effect appears to occur before LDLR internalization; it does not establish ectodomain binding or co-internalization. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe endosomal-lysosomal mechanism of PCSK9-mediated LDLr disposal does not require the proteolytic activity of PCSK9.
“The post-ER mechanism requires the proteolytic activity of PCSK9, whereas the endosomallysosomal mechanism does not (Park et al, 2004;McNutt et al, 2007).”
From PCSK9 is required for the disposal of non-acetylated intermediates of the nascent membrane protein BACE1 (2008) · cites this paper as Park et al, 2004
The paper reports that catalytically inactive PCSK9 did not reduce LDLR protein in mouse liver (Fig. 5; Discussion). Its Discussion places the observed effect before LDLR internalization, but does not test whether an endosomal–lysosomal mechanism requires proteolytic activity. Searches for that mechanism and for endosomal or lysosomal degradation found no passage establishing the claimed exception. (LLM, conf=0.77)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
Overexpression of full-length PCSK9 in the absence of ARH results in degradation of LDLr through an endocytosis-independent mechanism.
“Overexpression of full-length PCSK9 in the absence of ARH results in degradation of LDLr through an endocytosis-independent mechanism (Park et al, 2004;Qian et al, 2007) that resembles the post-ER mechanism initially described by Maxwell & Breslow (2004) and Maxwell et al (2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
