Used in biochemical and plant physiology research to quantify malonyl Coenzyme A levels in plant tissues. Helps study metabolic pathways such as fatty acid biosynthesis and secondary metabolite production. Enables researchers to monitor changes in malonyl-CoA concentration under different environmental conditions, genetic modifications, or during developmental stages. Supports investigations into metabolic engineering, bioenergy crop development, and understanding plant stress responses. The ELISA format allows for high-throughput, sensitive, and specific detection without requiring advanced instrumentation like mass spectrometry.
