Oligomycin A

Catalog Number:

75351

This compound was used at 5 uM to depolarize mitochondria from HeLa cells and induce activation of the PINK1/PARKIN pathway.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Induce activation of PINK1/PARKIN

Starting Material

HeLa cells

Tips

Use in combination with 10 uM antimycin A, for even more robust activation

Results Summary

Robust activation of pathways, as early as 30 to 1h minutes post treatment, as judge by stabilization and accumulation of PINK1.

Summary

The Good

Works well across cell lines

The Bad

Expensive

The Bottom Line

Works very well across cell lines, even in induced-neurons (see example). This is our go-to method to activate the PINK1/Parkin pathway.
