SEE ALSO...

COX5a Antibody (A-5) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects COX5a of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-COX5a antibody (A-5) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. COX5a is a crucial component of the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) complex, which plays a vital role in cellular respiration by facilitating the final step of the electron transport chain. This process is essential for ATP production, as COX5a drives the creation of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, ultimately leading to ATP synthesis and water production from molecular oxygen and hydrogen ions. COX5a, as one of the two subunits of COX5, contains heme A and enables efficient electron transfer and energy production. COX5a expression responds to cellular oxygen levels - increasing during oxygen abundance to enhance aerobic respiration and decreasing under hypoxic conditions to conserve oxygen, highlighting COX5a′s role in maintaining cellular energy homeostasis.
