Application

Anti-COX3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.0µg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochrome oxidases make up the terminal complex of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Deletions in mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase III (MT-CO3; COX3) gene are associated with rhabdomyolysis. Mutation in COX3 is linked to maternally inherited diabetes and deafness associated with nephropathy. COX3 mutations have been observed in asthenozoospermic infertile men, patients with MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Hepatitis B virus X protein interacts with COX3 and the intercation might be crucial for hepatocarcinoma tumorigenesis.
