These mevalonate (diphospho) decarboxylase ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring specific protein levels in biological samples. mevalonate (diphospho) decarboxylase is an alias of the human MVD gene, which encodes the protein, mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase. Notably, mevalonate (diphospho) decarboxylase is known to play a role in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the regulation of cell proliferation, among other functions. The MVD protein is described to be 400 amino acid residues in length and 43.4 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is found to be expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain, pancreas, kidney and placenta. Other names for this target antigen include FP17780, MDDase, and MPD. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
