ab90529 staining cytochrome C in HepG2 cells treated with mevastatin sodium salt (ab120854), by ICC/IF. Increase of cytochrome C expression correlates with increased concentration of mevastatin sodium salt, as described in literature.
The cells were incubated at 37°C for 4 hours in media containing different concentrations of ab120854 (mevastatin sodium salt) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab90529 (1 µg/ml) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab96899) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and are shown in blue.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Cytochrome C antibody (AB90529)

IHC image of Cytochrome C staining in human skeletal muscle formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab90529, 1µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Cytochrome C also referred to as "cytochrome c" or "Cyt C" is a small protein with a molecular weight of approximately 12 kDa. It is a component of the electron transport chain playing an essential mechanical role in cellular respiration. Cytochrome C is expressed in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells where it functions as a heme protein. The mass of this protein allows efficient electron transfer between Complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex) and Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) contributing to ATP synthesis.
Biological function summary

Cytochrome c contributes to the process of oxidative phosphorylation within mitochondria. It is not only an important electron carrier but it also plays a significant role in apoptosis. In the event of cellular stress cytochrome c releases into the cytosol and forms part of the apoptosome complex. This apoptosome activation leads to the caspase cascade driving programmed cell death. Therefore cytochrome C serves as both a mediator of energy production and a regulator of apoptosis.

Pathways

Cytochrome c is integral to the mitochondrial electron transport chain and apoptotic pathways. It interacts with proteins in these pathways such as cytochrome c oxidase in oxidative phosphorylation and Apaf-1 during apoptosis. The electron transport chain's function is dependent on the efficient transfer of electrons facilitated by cytochrome c ensuring ATP production in cellular respiration.

Cytochrome c links to conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer its role in the apoptotic pathway often emerges as cancer cells can develop mechanisms to evade apoptosis impacting cytochrome c release. For neurodegenerative diseases disruptions in mitochondrial function and cytochrome c's release can facilitate cell death implicating its role in conditions like Parkinson's disease. The interaction of cytochrome c with proteins such as p53 in response to cellular stress further highlights its involvement in disease pathogenesis.

Target data

Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain.. Plays a role in apoptosis. Suppression of the anti-apoptotic members or activation of the pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family leads to altered mitochondrial membrane permeability resulting in release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Binding of cytochrome c to Apaf-1 triggers the activation of caspase-9, which then accelerates apoptosis by activating other caspases.
