Cytochrome C Antibody (BMS1037) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of Cytochrome C was performed using 70% confluent log phase Hep G2 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 2% BSA for 45 minutes at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Cytochrome C Monoclonal Antibody (2B5), eBioscience™ (Product # BMS1037) at 1:100 dilution in 0.1% BSA, ... View More

Product Specific Information
Description: Cytochrome c was identified as a component required for the crucial steps in apoptosis, caspase-3 activation and DNA fragmentation. Cytochrome c was shown to redistribute from mitochondria to cytosol during apoptosis in intact cells.
Mitochrondrial cytochrome c is a water-soluble protein of 15 kDa with a net positive charge, residing loosely attached in the mitochrondrial intermembrane space. Cytochrome c functions in the respiratory chain by interaction with redox partners. The release of cytochrome c into the cytosol leads to an activation of an apoptotic program via activation of a caspase dependent pathway. Cytochrome c achieves this goal by interaction with other cytosolic factors forming a complex (apoptosome) composed of cytochrome c, Apaf-1, dATP and Apaf-3/caspase 9. Bcl-2 on the other hand was shown to be able to prevent apoptosis by blocking the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.
Applications Tested: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blotting.
Target Information
Cytochrome C is an electron transporting protein that resides within the intermembrane space of the mitochondria, where it plays a critical role in oxidative phosphorylation and the production of cellular ATP. Release of cytochrome C from the mitochondria to the cytosol is triggered by apoptotic stimuli. In the cytoplasm, the cytochrome C binds apoptotic protease activating factor which activates the apoptotic initiator procaspase 9. Cytosolic cytochrome C functions in the activation of caspase 3, an ICE family molecule that is a key effector of apoptosis.
