Anti-AOX1/2 | Plant alternative oxidase 1 and 2
Product Specifications
Background
Alternative oxidases (AOX) are quinol oxidases located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of plants. They function as terminal oxidases in the alternate electron transport pathway, oxidizing ubiquinone to reduce oxygen to water.

Additionnal Information
Mitochondrion inner membrane marker. Possibly in the inner surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane.Protocol for a plant mitochondria preparation can be found here. In protein samples which are older than few months AOX enzyme can undergo intensive dimerization. Such preparations should not be used to work with this antibody.

Storage Conditions
Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
