Product Description
Contains 5 mAbs, one each against Complex I subunit NDUFB8 (MS105), Complex II subunit 30kDa (MS203), Complex III subunit Core 2 (MS304), Complex IV subunit II (MS405), and ATP synthase subunit alpha (MS507) as an optimized premixed cocktail. The cocktail is suitable for Western Blotting analysis of the relative levels of the 5 OXPHOS complexes in mitochondrial preparations from human sources. Human heart mitochondria are also included as a Western Blotting control.
Altered levels of assembly can arise from mutations in individual subunits, mutations in assembly factors for the complex(es), mtDNA depletion or as a result of physiological and or pathological changes e.g. hormone treatment, exercise, diet or oxidative stress.
The mAbs in the cocktail were chosen because they are against a subunit that is labile when its complex is not assembled. Moreover, the combination is readily resolved in SDS-PAGE when the appropriate gel conditions are used (see protocols).
