Human Mitochondrial Import Receptor Subunit TOM40 Homolog (TOMM40) ELISA Kit | TOMM40 elisa kit
Human Mitochondrial Import Receptor Subunit TOM40 Homolog (TOMM40) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: TOMM40 is the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) complex that is essential for protein import into mitochondria.The deduced protein contains 361 amino acids. Fractionation of rat liver detected Tomm40 within the mitochondrial fraction. Extraction and antibody-accessibility studies suggested that Tomm40 is embedded within the mitochondrial membrane.Tomm40 was associated with a 400-kD complex containing the mitochondrial import receptors Tom20 and Tom22 and several smaller components. Mitochondria-targeted preproteins interacted with the Tomm40-containing complex during their transit to the mitochondrial matrix, and immunodepletion of Tomm40 caused the loss of preprotein import activity.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the outer membrane of the mitochondria. It is the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) complex that is essential for import of protein precursors into mitochondria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Product Notes
The Human TOMM40 tomm40 (Catalog #AAA9713831) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9713831 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TOMM40. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mitochondrial Import Receptor Subunit TOM40 Homolog (TOMM40), 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
