Anti-FDPS antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein farnesyl diphosphate synthase. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 419 amino acid residues and a mass of 48.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the FPP/GGPP synthase protein family, FDPS is known to be a key enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis which catalyzes the formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), a precursor for several classes of essential metabolites including sterols, dolichols, carotenoids, and ubiquinones. Synonyms for this target antigen include FPS, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, FPP synthase, and FPPS. FDPS gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of FDPS antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
