Cells/Tissue extracts
High-throughput adaptable
The kit provides unique formulation of buffers & reagents to measure cytochrome oxidase activity
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Cytochrome c Oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) or Complex IV is the fourth complex of the Electron Transport Chain located in the mitochondrial (or bacterial) membrane. It provides energy to the cell by coupling electron transport through the Cytochrome c chain with the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Complex IV contains 13 different subunits encoded by both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA. It receives an electron from each of the four Cytochrome c molecules, and transfers it to one oxygen molecule, converting it into two molecules of water. In this process, it also binds to four proton molecules and translocates them across the membrane to establish electrochemical gradient, which is utilized for the synthesis of ATP. Cytochrome Oxidase Activity Assay Kit is simple, fast and high-throughput adaptable. This assay kit can be used for purified mitochondria or tissue extracts containing mitochondria. The activity of the enzyme is determined colorimetrically by following the oxidation of reduced Cytochrome c as an absorbance decrease at 550 nm.
Summary: Simple and rapid measurement of cytochrome oxidase enzymatic activity in 96-well plate format.
Useful for mitochondrial respiration studies, assembly of the complexes, mitochondria outer membrane integrity.

Product Notes
The Cytochrome Oxidase (Catalog #AAA841652) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cytochrome Oxidase, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
