General description

Mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b (MT-CYB; CYTB) is encoded by mitochondrial DNA.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human CYTB

Application

Anti-CYTB antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b (MT-CYB; CYTB) is a component of complex III mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mutations in CYTB are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy. CYTB is up-regulated in uterine leiomyomas compared with myometrium tissues. Homoplasmic alteration in CYTB has been associated with colorectal cancer. Mutation in CYTB is also detected in primary bladder cancer patient. Cleaved CYTB protein functions as cytoplasmic mediator of FAS-induced apoptosis.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: TPMRKINPLMKLINHSFIDLPTPSNISAWWNFGSLLGACLILQITTGLFL

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a characteristic of heart failure. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA, particularly in MT-CYB coding for cytochrome B in complex III (CIII), have been associated with isolated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We hypothesized that MT-CYB mutations might play an important
