PDSS1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 1, which is encoded by the PDSS1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a heterotetrameric enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), which acts as a primer, and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to produce prenyl diphosphates of varying chain lengths and participates in the determination of the side chain of ubiquinone. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 415 residues, a mass of 46.3 kDa, and is a member of the FPP/GGPP synthase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The PDSS1 gene has been associated with the disease, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency. Other alias names for this target include COQ10D2, COQ1A, DPS, SPS, TPRT, TPT, TPT 1, and COQ1.
There are PDSS1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/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.
