GGPS1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1, which is encoded by the GGPS1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the trans-addition of the three molecules of IPP onto DMAPP to form geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, an important precursor of carotenoids and geranylated proteins. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 300 residues, a mass of 34.9 kDa, and is a member of the FPP/GGPP synthase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm and is found to be highly expressed in testis. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The GGPS1 gene has been associated with the disease, Muscular dystrophy, congenital hearing loss, and ovarian insufficiency syndrome. Other alias names for this target include GGPPS1, MDHLO, MUDHLOV, geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, and GGPPS.
Some GGPS1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
