Product details:
ab115345 is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the levels of phospho S300 PDHA1 protein in cell and tissue lysates. The assay employs a mouse antibody specific for PDHA1 protein coated on a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and PDHA1 protein present in the sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and a rabbit anti-phospho S300 PDHA1 protein detector antibody is added. After washing away unbound detector antibody, HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody is pipetted into the wells. The wells are again washed, an HRP substrate solution (TMB) is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of phospho S300 PDHA1 protein bound. The developing blue color is measured at 600 nm. Optionally the reaction can be stopped by adding hydrochloric acid which changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity can be measured at 450 nm.
Store all components at 4°C. This kit is stable for 6 months from

PDHA1 also known as the pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha subunit plays a mechanical role in cellular metabolism. It forms part of the larger pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex where it serves as a critical catalytic component. PDHA1 is expressed ubiquitously across different tissue types reflecting its fundamental function in energy production. The molecular weight of the PDHA1 protein is approximately 43 kDa. Alternate names for this protein include the PDH E1 component and it partners closely with other components in the PDH complex to facilitate its role.
Biological function summary
PDHA1 engages in the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA an important step in cellular respiration. This protein is part of the PDH complex which consists of multiple copies of three catalytic and two regulatory subunits. The conversion process is essential for linking glycolysis to the citric acid cycle efficiently channeling energy substrates within the cell. Furthermore the functional activity of PDHA1 is regulated through phosphorylation by the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) and dephosphorylation by PDH phosphatases.
Pathways
PDHA1 is integral to the metabolic pathway of cellular respiration and energy production. It enables the transition between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by facilitating the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA which enters the citric acid cycle. Related proteins in this pathway include PDHA2 and the regulatory PDKs that modulate PDHA1 activity. These interactions ensure energy metabolism adapts to various cellular conditions influencing energy balance and substrate utilization.
Mutations or dysfunctions in PDHA1 can lead to disorders such as pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency and Leigh syndrome. These conditions result from impaired energy metabolism leading to severe neurological symptoms and overall energy deficits in tissues with high metabolic demands. The link between PDHA1 and diseases highlights the importance of maintaining its function. Additionally altered interaction with proteins involved in phosphorylation such as the PDKs can exacerbate pathogenic conditions by further disbalancing metabolic activities.
