Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human Cytochrome C recombinant protein (Position: G2-E105). Human Cytochrome C shares 91% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat Cytochrome C. (reported region: G2-E105).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 14 kDa; calculated MW: 11749 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Cytochrome c; Cytochrome c. CYCS is also known as CYC, HCS or THC4. This gene encodes a small heme protein that functions as a central component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. The encoded protein associates with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion where it accepts electrons from cytochrome b and transfers them to the cytochrome oxidase complex. This protein is also involved in initiation of apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia. Numerous processed pseudogenes of this gene are found throughout the human genome. Functional note: 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. Reported localization: Mitochondrion intermembrane space. Loosely associated with the inner membrane.
Research relevance and current trends
- Apoptosis: Researchers commonly examine how CYCS (Cytochrome c) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Apoptotic Markers: Researchers commonly examine how CYCS (Cytochrome c) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how CYCS (Cytochrome c) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative CYCS (Cytochrome c) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of CYCS (Cytochrome c) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Family / similarity context: Belongs to the cytochrome c family.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
