PGD ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, which is encoded by the PGD gene in humans. Functionally, this 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 canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 483 residues, a mass of 53.1 kDa, and is a member of the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include 6PGD and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating.
