Anti-Cytochrome c mAb

Anti-Cytochrome c mAb (Cat.# G7421) is a monoclonal IgG antibody (clone 6H2.B4) against cytochrome c [Goshorn, S.C., Retzel, E. and Jemmerson, R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 2134–42.], an electron carrier protein identified as essential to the mitochondrial respiratory process. This protein was recently shown to be an important molecule in the apoptosis pathway. Cytochrome c is translocated from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm where it associates with other apoptosis-inducing proteins to activate caspase-9. The main application of the antibody is for immunofluorescence studies.

  • Immunogen: Rat cytochrome c.
  • Antibody Form: Mouse monoclonal IgG (clone 6H2.B4), 1mg/ml in PBS containing 50μg/ml gentamicin.
  • Specificity: Specific to the native form of rat, mouse, and human cytochrome c.
