The MTCO2 (Mitochondrially Encoded Cytochrome C Oxidase 2) antibody is a critical tool for studying the function and expression of the MTCO2 protein, a subunit of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), also known as Complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). MTCO2 is encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and plays a central role in cellular energy production by catalyzing the final step of oxidative phosphorylation: the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen, coupled with proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Dysregulation of MTCO2 is linked to mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, making it a focus of metabolic and pathological research.
MTCO2 antibodies are widely used in techniques like Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescence (IF) to assess protein expression, mitochondrial mass, or respiratory chain integrity. They help identify mitochondrial dysfunction in conditions such as Leigh syndrome, mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, and age-related degenerative processes. Researchers also utilize these antibodies to investigate tumor metabolism, as cancer cells often exhibit altered COX activity due to mtDNA mutations or hypoxia. Commercial MTCO2 antibodies are typically raised against synthetic peptides corresponding to conserved regions of the human protein, with validation in specific applications and species. However, users must verify cross-reactivity and optimize protocols due to potential variability in mitochondrial protein extraction and antibody performance.
