Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 2 (gene Mt-nd2) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 38.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 39 kDa.
MT-ND2 is a mitochondrial DNA-encoded core subunit of the membrane arm of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), the first enzyme of the respiratory chain. It is needed for complex I assembly and activity, which transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone while pumping protons across the inner membrane.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Rat) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, mouse brain 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.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): RH35 cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of rat NADH2/Mtnd2. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 80%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 2 in the mitochondrion inner membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
