PYGM ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glycogen phosphorylase, muscle associated, which is encoded by the PYGM gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glycogen catabolism, the phosphorolytic cleavage of glycogen to produce glucose-1-phosphate, and plays a central role in maintaining cellular and organismal glucose homeostasis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 842 residues, a mass of 97.1 kDa, and is a member of the Glycogen phosphorylase protein family. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. The PYGM gene has been associated with the disease, Glycogen storage disease. Other alias names for this target include glycogen phosphorylase, muscle form, myophosphorylase, phosphorylase, glycogen, muscle, and GSD5.
Some PYGM ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
