Relevance 

Cytochrome C Oxidase (COX), which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is the terminal enzyme complex of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It collects electrons that are transferred from reduced CYTOCHROME C and donates them to molecular oxygen, which is then reduced to water. It is composed of CYTOCHROME A and CYTOCHROME B, two copper atoms, and 13 different protein subunits, three of which are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA and ten others by nuclear DNA (mammals).

This antibody makes an effective loading control for mitochondria. COXIV is generally expressed at a consistent high level. However, be aware that many proteins run at the same 16kD size as COXIV - our VDAC1 / Porin antibody makes a good alternative mitochondrial loading control for proteins of this size. Some caution is required when using this antibody as a loading control as COXIV expression can vary under some manipulations. An alternative mitochondrial loading control is Rabbit polyclonal to COX IV antibody (ab16056).

ab14744 at 1/100 staining MCF-10A cells (human mammary epithelial cell line) by ICC/IF. The cells were methanol/acetone fixed at -20C for 5 minutes, blocked with BSA and then incubated with the antibody for 16 hours. The positive tissue was colocalised with a mitotracker (mitotrackers are a series of patented mt-selective stains that are concentrated by active mt and well retained during cell fixation). An Alexa-Fluor ® 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody was used as the secondary. The image shows COXIV staining in green and DAPI staining in blue.

Rats were anesthetized and intracardially perfused with 500 ml of normal saline at room temperature, followed by 500 ml of ice-cold, freshly made 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer (PB, 0.1 M, pH 7.4). A Cy3 conjugated anti mouse antibody was used as secondary.
