The following Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the HGD gene. This protein is known to catalyze the conversion of homogentisate to maleylacetoacetate. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 445 residues, a mass of 50 kDa, and is a member of the Homogentisate dioxygenase protein family. It is reported be highly expressed in the prostate, small intestine, colon, kidney and liver. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Alkaptonuria. This protein may also be known as HGO, homogentisate oxidase, homogentisate oxygenase, homogentisic acid oxidase, homogentisicase, and AKU.
There are Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.05 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
