Used in plant biology research to quantify pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) levels in plant tissue samples. This ELISA kit enables researchers to study the regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which plays a critical role in linking glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. By measuring PDP activity and expression, scientists can investigate metabolic shifts in plants under various physiological conditions such as stress, development, and energy demand. It is particularly useful in studies focused on plant mitochondrial metabolism, carbon utilization, and bioenergy research. The assay provides a sensitive and specific method for high-throughput analysis of PDP in model plants and crops, supporting advances in agricultural science and metabolic engineering.
