Biological background

Protein function (datasheet): Flavoprotein (FP) subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q). Can act as a tumor suppressor. .

Scientific background (datasheet): SDHA (Succinate dehydrogenase complex, subunit a, flavoprotein), also called SDH1, HOMOLOG OF, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SDHA gene. The SDHA gene is mapped on 5p15.33. The SDHA gene is highly polymorphic. The gene that codes for the SDHA protein is nuclear, even though the protein is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Heterozygous carriers of an SDHA mutation do not developparagangliomas as has been seen for mutations in the other subunits. In vitro functional expression studies in the yeast homolog showed that the mutation resulted in a loss of SDH activity and rendered the mutant SDHA protein more susceptible to proteolysis. The findings indicated that SDHA, like other SDH subunits, can act as a tumor suppressor gene.

Cellular localization (datasheet): Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Matrix side.

Tissue details (datasheet): Wide tissue distribution. Undetectable in placental tissue.

Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase 2 family. FRD/SDH subfamily.

Research relevance and current trends

• Commonly studied in contexts related to Mitochondria,Mitochondrial,Mitochondrial Markers,Mitochondrial Metabolism,Organelles,Oxidative Phosphorylation,Oxidative Stress,Pathways and Processes,Redox Metabolism,Signal Transduction,Subcellular Markers,Tags & Cell Markers.
• Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
• Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
• ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.

As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
