FDPS ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein farnesyl diphosphate synthase, which is encoded by the FDPS gene in humans. Functionally, this protein 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. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 419 residues, a mass of 48.3 kDa, and is a member of the FPP/GGPP synthase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The FDPS gene has been associated with the disease, Porokeratosis. Other alias names for this target include FPS, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, FPP synthase, and FPPS.
Some FDPS ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15 ng/L and as high as 400 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
