SC5D ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein sterol-C5-desaturase, which is encoded by the SC5D gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze a dehydrogenation to introduce C5-6 double bond into lathosterol in cholesterol biosynthesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 299 residues, a mass of 35.3 kDa, and is a member of the Sterol desaturase protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER. The SC5D gene has been associated with the disease, Lathosterolosis. Other alias names for this target include S5DES, SC5DL, lathosterol oxidase, 3beta-hydroxysteroid-delta5-desaturase, C-5 sterol desaturase, and ERG3.
The detection range for different Sc5d 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.
