The following Mevalonate kinase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of mevalonate kinase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MVK gene. This protein is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of mevalonate to mevalonate 5-phosphate, a key step in isoprenoid and cholesterol biosynthesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 396 residues, a mass of 42.5 kDa, and is a member of the GHMP kinase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Mevalonic aciduria. This protein may also be known as MK, MVLK, POROK3, LH receptor mRNA-binding protein, mevalonate kinase 1, and LRBP.
The detection range for different Mevalonate kinase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
