ELISA kit for Human Trimethyllysine dioxygenase, mitochondrial (TMLHE)

Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Human Trimethyllysine dioxygenase, mitochondrial (TMLHE) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

Epsilon-N-trimethyllysine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.8) catalyzes the conversion of epsilon-N-trimethyllysine to beta-hydroxy-N-epsilon-trimethyllysine in the first step of L-carnitine biosynthesis. The deduced 421-amino acid human TMLHE and 405-amino acid rat Tmlhe proteins have calculated molecular masses of 49.5 kD and 47.5 kD, respectively, and share 92% amino acid identity. Subcellular fractionation localized rat Tmlhe to mitochondria. Rat Tmlhe was synthesized as a 47.5-kD precursor that is processed to an approximately 43-kD protein, most likely through cleavage of a mitochondrial targeting signal. Gel filtration analysis showed rat Tmlhe as an 87-kD band, suggesting that Tmlhe forms a homodimer.
