Anti-COX5A Antibody

COX5A encodes a nuclear-encoded subunit of cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal complex (Complex IV) of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This polyclonal antibody, supplied by Antibodies.com, was raised in rabbit and is unconjugated, allowing it to be paired with secondary detection reagents in customized assay workflows. The product is supplied as 100 µl of liquid and is intended for research use only, with validated application in Western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Reactivity has been confirmed against the human target, making it useful for studies of mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative phosphorylation, and respiratory chain assembly in cell biology and biochemistry laboratories. The corresponding antigen, also known as cytochrome c oxidase polypeptide Va, resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and contributes to proton translocation during electron transport. Investigators working on mitochondrial disorders, metabolic disease models, or comparative profiling of Complex IV subunit expression can apply this reagent to protein-level detection in cultured human cells and relevant tissue samples.
