Used in plant biology research to quantify squalene synthase (SQS) enzyme levels in plant tissues. Helps study triterpene and sterol biosynthesis pathways, especially in plants engineered for enhanced production of valuable secondary metabolites. Enables researchers to monitor SQS expression under different environmental stresses, hormone treatments, or genetic modifications. Supports drug discovery and metabolic engineering efforts by providing a reliable method to assess enzyme activity indirectly through protein concentration measurements. Widely applied in agricultural and pharmaceutical research to understand plant defense mechanisms and improve bioactive compound yields.
