PDSS1 Antibody

PDSS1 is an enzyme that elongates the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain. PDSS1 catalyzes the formation of all trans-polyprenyl pyrophosphates from isopentyl diphosphate in the assembly of polyisoprenoid side chains, the first step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis. The protein may be peripherally associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, though no transit peptide has been definitively identified to date. Defects in PDSS1 gene are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency.The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that elongates the prenyl side-chain of coenzyme Q, or ubiquinone, one of the key elements in the respiratory chain.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store PDSS1 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

PDSS1 antibody can be used for detection of PDSS1 by ELISA at 1:312500. PDSS1 antibody can be used for detection of PDSS1 by western blot at 5.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
