Proteasome subunit alpha 6
PSMA6proteinPSMA6 is a MI susceptibility locus, plausibly linked to proteasomal regulation of inflammatory or cell-cycle signaling.
Pathway placement
Cascade stepOff-pathway / systemic markers
Confidencelow
RationaleMI susceptibility locus; proteasomal function; off-pathway generic protein turnover marker.
Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).
Assay & specimen
Class-level default (no specific cleared assay)— generic method inferred from analyte class; confirm against a specific product insert before use.

Method / principle
Sandwich immunoassay (ELISA) — research-grade unless a cleared assay exists
Reagent / substrate
Matched anti-target antibody pair (capture + labeled detection)
Platform
ELISA microplate or multiplex (Luminex/MSD)
Turnaround · availability
Send-out / research · Research-grade (no universal clinical assay)
