These 6PGD ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of 6PGD in biological samples. 6PGD is an alias of the human PGD gene, which encodes the protein, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The protein is known to catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate and CO(2), with concomitant reduction of NADP to NADPH. The PGD protein is 483 amino acid residues in length and 53.1 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell.
