Anti-Mevalonate kinase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the MVK gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 396 amino acid residues and a mass of 42.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. A member of the GHMP kinase protein family, it is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of mevalonate to mevalonate 5-phosphate, a key step in isoprenoid and cholesterol biosynthesis. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Mevalonic aciduria. Other names for this target antigen include MK, MVLK, POROK3, LH receptor mRNA-binding protein, mevalonate kinase 1, and LRBP. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Mevalonate kinase antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
