Product Name:

Anti-NDUFA9 antibody [20C11B11B11]

Catalog Number:

ab14713

Clone Number:

Our lab studies the role of mTOR signaling in CD8 T cell differentiation and function. mTOR signaling controls the metabolic programming of T cells. Programming of T cells also involves dynamic changes in mitochondria mass and morphology. Since effector and memory T cells have differences in these properties, we wanted to assess mitochondrial components in the electron transport chain. We used this antibody to detect NDUFA9 of Complex I.

Summary

The Good

Good antibody without any non-specific bands. Great to reuse diluted antibody countless times.

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Great antibody to detect NDUFA9 expression in cells as a measure of mitochondrial mass.
