Succinyl-CoA Synthetase Antibody detects endogenous levels of total succinyl-CoA synthetase (α subunit) protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human succinyl-CoA synthetase (α subunit) protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Succinyl-CoA synthetase α subunit (SUCLG1) catalyzes the conversion of succinate to succinyl-CoA and plays a key role in the citric acid cycle (1,2). Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a variety of diseases including fatal infantile lactic acidosis (3) and mitochondrial hepatoencephalomyopathy (4).
