NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Five alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been described.

Uniprot Description
BCS1L: Chaperone necessary for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. Plays an important role in the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular networks, respiratory chain assembly and formation of the LETM1 complex. Defects in BCS1L are the cause of GRACILE syndrome (GRACILE). GRACILE stands for 'growth retardation, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and early death'. It is a recessively inherited lethal disease characterized by fetal growth retardation, lactic acidosis, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, and abnormalities in iron metabolism. Defects in BCS1L are a cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency (MT-C3D). A disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain resulting in a highly variable phenotype depending on which tissues are affected. Clinical features include mitochondrial encephalopathy, psychomotor retardation, ataxia, severe failure to thrive, liver dysfunction, renal tubulopathy, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Defects in BCS1L are the cause of Bjoernstad syndrome (BJS). BJS is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and pili torti. The hearing loss in BJS is congenital and of variable severity. Pili torti (twisted hairs), a condition in which the hair shafts are flattened at irregular intervals and twisted 180 degrees from the normal axis, making the hair extremely brittle, is usually recognized early in childhood. Belongs to the AAA ATPase family. BCS1 subfamily.

Product Notes
The Human PTD bcs1l (Catalog #AAA268246) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA268246 ELISA Kit recognizes Human PTD. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pentosidine (PTD), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
