Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of endogenic mouse pentosidine concentrations in serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Five alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been described.
