Gene Information

human ... MTCO3(4514)

General description

Mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase III (MT-CO3; COX3) is encoded by the mitochondrial DNA and localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane. COX3 is generally mentioned as COXIII.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human COX3

Application

Anti-COX3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome oxidases make up the terminal complex of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Deletions in mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase III (MT-CO3; COX3) gene are associated with rhabdomyolysis. Mutation in COX3 is linked to maternally inherited diabetes and deafness associated with nephropathy. COX3 mutations have been observed in asthenozoospermic infertile men, patients with MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Hepatitis B virus X protein interacts with COX3 and the intercation might be crucial for hepatocarcinoma tumorigenesis.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: FESPFTISDGIYGSTFFVATGFHGLHVIIGSTFLTICFIRQLMFHFTSKH

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Mitochondrial diabetes (MD) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by a chronic hyperglycemia, maternal transmission and its association with a bilateral hearing impairment. Several studies reported mutations in mitochondrial genes as potentially pathogenic for diabetes, since mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation plays an
