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 Qian et al, 2007
The Results report that reducing ARH or LDLR expression dramatically reduced PCSK9 endocytosis, and the Discussion proposes that their mediated endocytosis delivers PCSK9 and LDLR to endosomal/lysosomal compartments. The paper does not identify the internalized PCSK9–LDLR complex specifically as containing the “C-form” of PCSK9, so that qualifier is not established by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredOverexpression 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).”

“Indeed, by binding to LDLR, PCSK9 is internalized by the receptor and in turn enhances its intracellular degradation in endo/lysosomal vesicles causing the decrease in cell surface LDLRs [57,66,67].”

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.
