Application

Mitochondria Isolation Kit has been used:
  • for the separation of mitochondrial and cytosolic fraction for determining the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) activity
  • for the isolation of mitochondria from glomeruli and heart
  • for the isolation of mitochondria from injured brain samples for the measurement of mitochondrial transmembrane potential

The Mitochondria Isolation Kit provides a fast and easy isolation of an enriched mitochondrial fraction from animal tissues as well as the testing of the electrochemical proton gradient (ΔΨ) of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Useful for mitochondria mediated apoptosis studies.

Features and Benefits

  • Specially formulated extraction reagents & proven procedure suitable for small scale isolation - Isolate an enriched, intact mitochodrial fraction in a microfuge tube.
  • Produces functionally active, intact mitochondria - Resulting mitochondria are suitable for in vitro assays for apoptosis, oxidative stress or other studies.
  • Includes stain & protocol for determining inner membrane integrity - Determine the integrity of the inner mitochondrial membrane without the need to purchase other reagents.
  • Compatible with the Cytochrome c Oxidase Assay Kit - Allows easy determination of the integrity of the outer mitochondrial membrane

Recent work shows that S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) helps maintain normal liver function as chronic hepatic deficiency results in spontaneous development of steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The mechanisms by which these nontraditional functions of AdoMet occur are unknown. Here, we use knockout

The isolation of subcellular fractions by centrifugation is a commonly used technique and is widely applicable across multiple cell and tissue types. Because organelles differ in their size, shape, and density, centrifugation can be easily employed to separate and purify organelle fractions from gently homogenized samples.

Oxidative stress is mediated, in part, by reactive oxygen species produced by multiple cellular processes and controlled by cellular antioxidant mechanisms such as enzymatic scavengers or antioxidant modulators. Free radicals, such as reactive oxygen species, cause cellular damage via cellular.
