Anti-TOM70 TOMM70 Antibody

The translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex is a multisubunit complex involved in the recognition, unfolding, and translocation of preproteins into the mitochondria. TOM70, an important member of the TOM complex, contains a tetratricopeptide repeat domain similar to those found in cytosolic chaperones such as Hsp90 and Hsc70 and provides a docking site for these proteins. This interaction is thought to be a critical first step in the TOM70-dependent mitochondrial import, followed by contact between the preprotein and TOM70. After targeting to TOM70, preproteins are translocated through the outer membrane via the TOM40 import pore complex. The precise mechanism of how preproteins progress from TOM70 to TOM40 to full translocation is still unclear.

Anti-TOM70 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids near the amino terminus of human TOM70. The immunogen is located within amino acids 50-100 of TOM70.

Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in liver, kidney and muscle. Expressed at intermediate level in brain, heart, colon, thymus, kidney, small intestine, placenta, lung, leukocytes and spleen.

TOM70 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
