Anti-6PGD antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the 6PGD antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the PGD gene, which encodes phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. This protein is known to catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate and CO(2), with concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH. The human version of 6PGD has a canonical amino acid length of 483 residues and a protein mass of 53.1 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. 6PGD is a member of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase protein family. Western Blot is a widely used application for the 6PGD antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
