CoA ELISA Kits

CoA (Coenzyme A) ELISA Kits are specialized immunoassays designed for the detection and quantification of Coenzyme A in biological samples, including blood, serum, tissue extracts, and cell lysates. CoA is a critical cofactor involved in multiple biochemical reactions, particularly in fatty acid metabolism and energy production through the citric acid cycle. By accurately measuring CoA levels, these kits aid in research focused on metabolic processes, cellular energy homeostasis, and disorders associated with metabolic dysregulation.

Content

CoA ELISA Kits generally include:

• Microplates pre-coated with capture antibodies specific to CoA or its derivatives.
• Detection antibodies or enzyme-conjugated CoA analogs that bind specifically to CoA, allowing for quantifiable signal development.
• Standards and controls to ensure consistent and precise CoA measurements across sample batches.
• Buffers and reagents, including wash, blocking, and substrate solutions, that improve sensitivity and minimize background signal interference.

The assay process involves incubating the sample on CoA-specific antibody-coated plates, where CoA binds to the capture antibodies. Following subsequent binding steps with detection antibodies, an enzyme-substrate reaction generates a detectable signal proportional to the CoA concentration.

Applications

CoA ELISA Kits are widely used in:

• Metabolism research: Quantifying CoA to investigate metabolic pathways, particularly those involving fatty acid oxidation and energy production.
• Mitochondrial function studies: Assessing CoA levels in relation to mitochondrial health and function, given CoA's role in the citric acid cycle.
• Pharmacological research: Screening drugs that target metabolic pathways involving CoA, with potential applications in treating metabolic diseases and conditions like obesity and diabetes.
• Nutritional and biochemical studies: Analyzing CoA's involvement in nutrient metabolism and cellular response to dietary changes or interventions.

CoA ELISA Kits provide a reliable and standardized method for measuring CoA levels, supporting metabolic research and therapeutic development efforts that target cellular energy and lipid metabolism pathways.
