Background Information
PDHA1(Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha, somatic form, mitochondrial) is also named as PHE1A.It is one of the 3 enzymes of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex which is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial matrix multienzyme complex that provides the primary link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by catalyzing the irreversible conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA(PMID:7853374).It has 4 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with the molecular mass of 39-48 kDa. Defects in PDHA1 are a cause of pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha deficiency (PDHAD) and X-linked Leigh syndrome (X-LS).

Reviews
What customers say
All three reviews are for Western Blot applications at a 1:1000 dilution. Users report clear, strong band detection across multiple sample types, including human liver cells, brain tissue, and whole tissue/cell homogenates from human, mouse, and rat. One reviewer noted good detection with as little as 30 µg of protein, while another provided a detailed protocol using a 4–12% gradient gel and Odyssey imaging. Overall, the antibody is well-regarded for its sensitivity and consistent performance across species and tissue types.
