Carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP)

Catalog Number:

C2759

Info: Supplier Page 

CCCP is a potent uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential. We used CCCP as a positive control for the mitochondrial protein import block.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell culture and microscopy

Starting Material

Neuro2a cells

Tips

Titrate concentration and incubation time for treatment as the effect of CCCP is reversible.

Results Summary

We transfected a GFP-based reporter that localizes to mitochondria and observed its localization using microscopy. CCCP affected the import of protein into mitochondria and GFP fluorescence was diffused in the cells, thus working as a positive control for mitochondria import block.
