Human TOM20 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 homolog) ELISA Kit (HUFI07682)

Mitochondrial biogenesis depends on the import of nuclear-encoded precursor proteins through the outer membrane translocase complex, with TOM20 acting as the primary receptor that recognizes mitochondrial targeting sequences and channels them into the organelle. The Assay Genie Human TOM20 ELISA Kit is an in vitro immunoassay designed to quantify this mitochondrial import receptor in human research samples, supporting studies of mitochondrial biogenesis, protein import machinery, and organelle turnover.

Researchers investigating mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease, metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular pathology, and age-related cellular decline rely on TOM20 quantification to assess mitochondrial content and function. The kit is also relevant for studies of mitophagy, apoptosis signaling, and oxidative stress responses, where changes in mitochondrial mass serve as informative biomarkers of cellular health.

Sufficient reagents for 96 Assays are supplied in vials along with the protocol materials needed to perform the procedure, and the product is intended for research use only. The quantitative readout enables comparison across experimental conditions using standard laboratory plate readers, making the kit appropriate for cell culture experiments, tissue homogenates, and related specimen types in academic and pharmaceutical research environments.
