COQ8A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein coenzyme Q8A, which is encoded by the COQ8A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be an atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 647 residues, a mass of 72 kDa, and is a member of the ADCK protein kinase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is found to be widely expressed, with highest levels in adrenal gland, heart, pancreas, nasal mucosa, stomach, uterus and skeletal muscle. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The COQ8A gene has been associated with the disease, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency. Other alias names for this target include aarF domain-containing protein kinase 3, atypical kinase ADCK3, mitochondrial, chaperone activity of bc1 complex-like, mitochondrial, and atypical kinase COQ8A, mitochondrial.
The detection range for different COQ8A ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
