Anti-ND4/Mtnd4 Antibody Picoband®, iFluor647 Conjugate

• Background:

  NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the mitochondrial gene MT-ND4. The ND4 protein is a subunit of NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone), which is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and is the largest of the five complexes of the electron transport chain. Variations in the MT-ND4 gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and cystic fibrosis.

• Description:

• Host:

  Rabbit

• Reactivity:

  Rat

• Cross Reactivity:

  No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

• Immunogen:

  A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of rat ND4/Mtnd4, which shares 82.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse ND4/Mtnd4.

• Clonality:

  Polyclonal

• Tissue Specificity:

  Expressed in lung, on the vascular capillary network within alveolar walls, and also at lower level in kidney.

• Applications:

  WB

• Purification:

  Immunogen affinity purified.

• Concentration:

  Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

• Form:

  Lyophilized

• Reconstitution:

  Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

• Function:

  Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) that is believed to belong to the minimal assembly required for catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone.

• Components:

  Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na₂HPO₄, 0.05mg NaN₃.
