MTCO1 polyclonal, anti-human

Quantity: 100 µg

Background:
Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(CO1 or MTCO1) is 1 of 3 mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) encoded subunits(MTCO1, MTCO2, MTCO3) of respiratory Complex IV. Complex IV is located within the mitochondrial inner membrane and is the third and final enzyme of the electron transport chain of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. It is composed of 13 polypeptides. Subunits I, II, and III(MTCO1, MTCO2, MTCO3) are encoded by mtDNA while subunits IV, Va, Vb, VIa, VIb, VIc, VIIa, VIIb, VIIc, and VIII are nuclear encoded. The cytochrome c oxidase family of enzymes have 4 redox centers, 2 hemes and 2 copper centers. In mitochondrial Complex IV, the 2 hemes are a and a3 and the 2 coppers are CuA and CuB. The 2 hemes and CuB are bound to subunit I. Acin-Perez et al.(2003) identified a cell line containing single and double missense mutations in the cytochrome c oxidase(COX) subunit I gene of mouse mitochondrial DNA. And they hypothesized that deleterious mutations can arise and become predominant; cultured cells can maintain several mtDNA haplotypes at stable frequencies; the respiratory chain has little spare COX capacity; and that the size of a cavity in the vicinity of val421 in MTCO1I of animal COX may affect the function of the enzyme.
