Product Specifications

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.

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

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.
