Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of SCAR9, an alias of the protein, coenzyme Q8A. The official gene symbol is COQ8A. The protein, with a mass of 72 kDa and length of 647 residues, is reported to be mitochondrial. It is a member of the Protein kinase superfamily, ADCK protein kinase family and may be known by other names, including: coenzyme Q8 homolog, coenzyme Q protein 8A, atypical kinase ADCK3 mitochondrial, aarF domain-containing protein kinase 3, and atypical kinase COQ8A mitochondrial, and ARCA2.
