Anti-AOX1 | Algal Alternative oxidase 1

The mitochondrial AOX (alternative oxidase) of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is encoded by two different genes, the Aox1 and Aox2. The alternative respiratory pathway is comprised of a single homodimeric protein – AOX – and functions as a mechanism to decrease the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during respiratory electron transport. Alternative oxidase expression is influenced by different stress stimuli.

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.
