Mouse Pyridoxal kinase (Pdxk) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of mouse pyridoxal kinase (Pdxk) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Pyridoxal kinase is the enzyme required for synthesis of pyridoxal-5-phosphate from vitamin B6, and the kit is intended for research use only.

The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and shows specificity for natural and recombinant mouse pyridoxal kinase. Performance figures quoted in the product documentation are a detection range of 0.625-40ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.325ng/mL. The associated UniProt entry is Q8K183, and the target is described as a homodimer located in the cytoplasm. Alternative names listed include pyridoxine kinase and Pkh.

Sample preparation guidance for serum, plasma and related biological fluids, together with full kit component and protocol information, is supplied with the kit. Intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity and recovery values are also provided with the kit rather than being stated numerically on the product page.
