Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2, mitochondrial (gene Cox6a2) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 10.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 11 kDa.
In mouse, Cox6a2 is the heart and skeletal muscle isoform of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A. As a nuclear-encoded subunit of complex IV, the final enzyme of the respiratory chain, it is studied in muscle energy metabolism and mitochondrial function.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat heart tissue, mouse heart tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the middle region of mouse cox6a2. Sequence identity with the human and rat orthologs: 66.7% and 100%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2, mitochondrial in the mitochondrion inner membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
