Monoclonal antibody · Inhibitor of PCSK9 · developed by Amgen
Evolocumab is a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody that inhibits PCSK9, a protein that promotes degradation of the LDL receptor on hepatocytes. By blocking PCSK9 binding to the LDL receptor, evolocumab increases LDL receptor availability to clear LDL cholesterol from the blood, thereby lowering LDL-C levels and reducing cardiovascular risk.
