MT-CO1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase I, which is encoded by the MT-CO1 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 513 residues, a mass of 57 kDa, and is a member of the Heme-copper respiratory oxidase protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria. The MT-CO1 gene has been associated with the disease, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Other alias names for this target include MTCO1, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, and COI.
Some MT-CO1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
