    Product Information

    Product Description

    The rapid protocol (RP) PathScan® RP Phospho-BCKDH-E1α (Ser293) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of BCKDH-E1α protein phosphorylated at Ser293 in a reduced assay time of 1.5 hours. Incubation of cell lysates and detection antibody on the coated microwell plate forms a sandwich with phospho-BCKDH-E1α (Ser293) in a single step. The plate is then extensively washed and TMB reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of phospho-BCKDH-E1α (Ser293). Learn more about your ELISA kit options here.

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Background

    Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine are essential amino acids in mammals, but elevated levels of BCAAs have been implicated in cardiovascular and metabolic disorders (1). The branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the BCAA degradation pathway (2,3). Branched-chain α-keto acid decarboxylase (BCKDH-E1) is one of three enzymatic components in this complex (3). The α subunit of BCKDH-E1 (BCKDH-E1α) is critical for the regulation of BCKDH. Phosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α was shown to play a key role in regulating the enzymatic activity of this complex (3-5).
    Phosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α at Ser293 inactivates BCKDH (3,4). A significant elevation in plasma BCAA levels was reported to correlate with increased phosphorylation of BCKDH-E1α at Ser293 and suppressed BCKDH activity in the liver of diabetic mice (5).
