Anti-COX5A Antibody

A polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com that recognizes Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 5A, the mitochondrially associated catalytic core of respiratory chain complex IV. This unconjugated rabbit reagent is supplied as a 100 µl vial at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, and is validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence workflows on human samples.

Investigators studying oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and hypoxia signaling use COX5A detection to monitor complex IV assembly and abundance in cell lysates and tissue sections. The polyclonal format provides recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, supporting cleaner band detection in WB and stronger signal in IHC when paired with appropriate HRP-conjugated or fluorescent secondary antibodies.

For long-term stability, store the antibody frozen at -20 °C, protected from light, and aliquot into single-use portions to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity over time. The product is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
