PYGL ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein glycogen phosphorylase L, which is encoded by the PYGL 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 847 residues, a mass of 97.1 kDa, and is a member of the Glycogen phosphorylase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally acetylated and phosphorylated. The PYGL gene has been associated with the disease, Glycogen storage disease. Other alias names for this target include glycogen phosphorylase, liver form, phosphorylase, glycogen, liver, and GSD6.
There are PYGL ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations 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.
