Human Prenylcysteine Oxidase 1 (PCYOX1) ELISA Kit

Built for quantitative measurement of PCYOX1 in human samples, this 96-assay microplate kit from Assay Genie provides a reproducible absorbance-based readout for studying prenylcysteine oxidase biology. Prenylcysteine oxidase 1 is a lysosomal flavoenzyme that catalyzes the terminal oxidation step in the catabolism of prenylated proteins, cleaving the isoprenyl cysteine moiety to release an aldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. Because prenylated Rab-family GTPases and other CaaX-modified substrates depend on this pathway for proper turnover, PCYOX1 activity is frequently examined in vascular research, with reported links to foam-cell formation, atherosclerotic lesion progression, and macrophage oxidative stress.

The reagents are configured for use with tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and assorted research sample matrices, supporting work in cardiovascular biology, neurobiology, and cell-signaling studies where PCYOX1 expression or regulation is the focus. The kit ships with pre-coated microplate, standards, detection antibody, and assay buffer sufficient for 96 determinations in a single run. Researchers investigating protein prenylation turnover, lysosomal function, or candidate biomarkers in metabolic and inflammatory disease can pair this ELISA with western blot, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry workflows. Intended for research use only.
