Descrizione

General description

Anti-Cytochrome c produced in sheep using purified rabbit cytochrome c conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Cytochrome c is an electron transport protein released from mitochondria as an early committed event in apoptosis. Cytochrome c and dATP are cofactors for the mammalian apoptosome, which is composed of Apaf-1, Bcl-2, and procaspase 9. When caspase 9 is activated, activation of other caspases follow including the death protease caspase 3. The release of cytochrome c is inhibited by the presence of Bcl-2 on these organelles preventing the initiation of apoptosis. In cells induced by several apoptotic agents (such as UV irradiation, staurosporine, and overexpression of Bax), caspase inhibitors do not prevent cytochrome c release.

Immunogen

rabbit cytochrome c.

Application

Anti-Cytochrome c antibody produced in sheep has been used in:

• immunocytochemistry
• immunostaining
• immunoblotting
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome c controls cellular electron transport and energy metabolism. It is involved in the transfer of electrons between complex III and complex IV in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It is involved in apoptosis and activates the death protease caspase-3 (CCP32). The presence of Bcl-2 on the organelles inhibits the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria during apoptosis. Along with Apaf-1, and procaspase-9, it forms an essential component of vertebrate ”apoptosome”. Activation of caspase-9 and other capsases directs apoptosis. Serum cytochrome c is a sensitive apoptotic marker in vivo, and increased serum cytochrome c level can serve as a negative prognostic marker.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 15 mM sodium azide.
