Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of BRP44L in human tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is part of an MPC1/MPC2 heterodimer that is responsible for transporting pyruvate into mitochondria. The encoded protein is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency. Several transcript variants, some protein coding and one non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
