Anti-pgl antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the pgl antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SDHD gene, which encodes succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D. This protein is known to function in the cellular response to hypoxia, among other biological roles. The human version of pgl has a canonical amino acid length of 159 residues and a protein mass of 17 kilodaltons, although 4 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include CBT1, CBT1, and CII-4. ELISA and Western Blot are common applications for pgl antibodies.
