I was looking for CoQ10 ELISA kits and I came across some labelled as 'CoQ10 binding protein homolog A, mitochondrial' or CoQ10... homolog B..' what is the difference between these two in terms of their specific target if I'm looking to quantity the entire CoQ10 present in human serum sample?
Do not confuse CoQ10 itself with CoQ10 binding protein. If you want to quantify the amount of CoQ10, use an ELISA kit that measures CoQ10, not one that measures CoQ10 binding protein. Here is one such kit:

Thanks Adam. Actually, the company has specifically provided me with this product's details when I asked for a CoQ10 ELISA kit, could you have a look?

The information provided by the company identifies their kit as being for the binding protein not the coenzyme:
"Human COQ10A(Coenzyme Q-binding protein COQ10 homolog A, mitochondrial)"
