COX8A ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein cytochrome c oxidase subunit 8A, which is encoded by the COX8A gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known component of the cytochrome c oxidase, the last enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain which drives oxidative phosphorylation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 69 residues, a mass of 7.6 kDa, and is a member of the Cytochrome c oxidase VIII protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is widely expressed across many tissue types. The COX8A gene has been associated with the disease, Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency. Other alias names for this target include COX8, COX8-2, COX8L, MC4DN15, VIII, VIII-L, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 8A, mitochondrial, and COX.
The detection range for different COX8A ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
