NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a chaperone protein that is involved in the assembly of complex III (CIII), one of the five protein complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and is necessary for the insertion of the Rieske iron-sulfur (RISP) and Qcr10p proteins into the precomplex. Studies from the yeast ortholog of this protein indicate that it is targeted to the inner membrane of the mitochondria, despite the absence of an N-terminal targeting sequence. Positively charged amino acids located C-terminal to the transmembrane domain are thought to act as an internal targeting signal (PMID:8599931). Mutations in the human ortholog of this gene have been associated with GRACILE syndrome, characterized by Growth retardation, Amino aciduria, Cholestasis, Iron overload, Lactic acidosis, and Early death. Mouse models with the corresponding mutation mimic the phenotype of GRACILE syndrome and display decreased complex III activity and decreased electron transport capacity (PMID:21274865). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]
Uniprot Description
BCS1L: Chaperone necessary for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. Plays an important role in the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular networks, respiratory chain assembly and formation of the LETM1 complex. Defects in BCS1L are the cause of GRACILE syndrome (GRACILE). GRACILE stands for 'growth retardation, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and early death'. It is a recessively inherited lethal disease characterized by fetal growth retardation, lactic acidosis, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, and abnormalities in iron metabolism. Defects in BCS1L are a cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency (MT-C3D). A disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain resulting in a highly variable phenotype depending on which tissues are affected. Clinical features include mitochondrial encephalopathy, psychomotor retardation, ataxia, severe failure to thrive, liver dysfunction, renal tubulopathy, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Defects in BCS1L are the cause of Bjoernstad syndrome (BJS). BJS is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and pili torti. The hearing loss in BJS is congenital and of variable severity. Pili torti (twisted hairs), a condition in which the hair shafts are flattened at irregular intervals and twisted 180 degrees from the normal axis, making the hair extremely brittle, is usually recognized early in childhood. Belongs to the AAA ATPase family. BCS1 subfamily.

Product Notes
The Mouse BCS1L bcs1l (Catalog #AAA9325393) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9325393 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse BCS1L. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BCS1-like (yeast), ELISA 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
