  • General notes

    This antibody makes an effective loading control for mitochondria. COX IV is generally expressed at a consistent high level. However, be aware that many proteins run at the same 16kD size as COX IV - 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 Mouse monoclonal to COX IV antibody [20E8] (ab14744).

    The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing this with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.

Answered on May 08 2012

Question

Hi, this antibody panel, ab110413, recognizes complex I-V quite sufficiently. I was wondering if there is any difference between the MTCO1 (COX IV subunit I) at 40kDa and another COX IV loading control (ab16056) at 17kDa? Since COX IV is typically used for loading control in the mitochondrial western blot. I use that Ab for other mitochondrial protein analysis. But I am not sure if I can use COX IV in the case of evaluating MTCO1, since they are in some way the same COX IV, right? And why the molecular weight for the proteins recognized by both Abs are different? Thanks! Hailong

Asked on Jul 16 2018

Answer

The antibodies detect different subunits of cytochrome c oxidase, which is also known as Complex IV, and which is abbreviated as CIV on the ab110413 datasheet (Total OXPHOS Rodent WB Antibody Cocktail).

The CIV (Complex IV) antibody in the panel ab110413 detects Compex IV subunit 1, also called COXI and MT-CO1, at ˜40kDa. This antibody is available separately as ab14705. The COX IV mitochondria loading control antibody ab16056 detects Complex IV subunit 4, also known as COXIV, at about 15kDa. Here are links to the UniProt records for the human proteins.
