RABBIT ANTI COX4I1

Rabbit anti Human COX4I1 antibody recognizes COX4l1 also known as cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 isoform 1, mitochondrial, COX IV-1, cytochrome c oxidase polypeptide IV or cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 isoform 1.

Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It is a multi-subunit enzyme complex that couples the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen and contributes to a proton electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The complex consists of 13 mitochondrial- and nuclear-encoded subunits. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits perform the electron transfer and proton pumping activities. The functions of the nuclear-encoded subunits are unknown but they may play a role in the regulation and assembly of the complex. COX4I1 encodes the nuclear-encoded subunit IV isoform 1 of the human mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme. It is located at the 3' of the NOC4 (neighbor of COX4) gene in a head-to-head orientation, and shares a promoter with it (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human COX4l1 antibody detects a band of 17 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
