PDK4 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4, which is encoded by the PDK4 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a reported kinase that plays a key role in regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis via phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase subunits PDHA1 and PDHA2. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 411 residues, a mass of 46.5 kDa, and is a member of the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is widely expressed across many tissue types, with high levels of expression in heart and skeletal muscle. Other alias names for this target include [Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] kinase isozyme 4, mitochondrial, [Pyruvate dehydrogenase [lipoamide]] kinase isozyme 4, mitochondrial, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isoenzyme 4, and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, isozyme 4.
Some PDK4 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
