Used in biomedical research to quantify levels of phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) in human biological samples such as serum, plasma, or cell lysates. This ELISA kit enables researchers to study PGP's role in metabolic pathways, particularly in relation to glycolate metabolism and mitochondrial function. It is commonly applied in studies investigating metabolic disorders, oxidative stress, and rare genetic conditions like PHARC (polyneuropathy, hearing loss, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataracts) syndrome, where PGP dysfunction may be implicated. The assay provides a sensitive and specific means to monitor protein expression changes in clinical and experimental settings.
