Anti-COQ8A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein coenzyme Q8A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 647 amino acid residues and a mass of 72 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. Up to 4 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be widely expressed, with highest levels in adrenal gland, heart, pancreas, nasal mucosa, stomach, uterus and skeletal muscle. A member of the ADCK protein kinase protein family, COQ8A is known to be an atypical kinase involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. Synonyms for this target antigen include aarF domain-containing protein kinase 3, atypical kinase ADCK3, mitochondrial, chaperone activity of bc1 complex-like, mitochondrial, and atypical kinase COQ8A, mitochondrial. Some COQ8A antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
