    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #65619. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #65619

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    TOM70 (E7E1M) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total TOM70 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala189 of human TOM70 protein.

    Background

    Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy metabolism and are essential organelles in eukaryotes. In humans, 13 proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome, while the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nuclear genome. As a result, most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized as precursors in the cytoplasm and imported across mitochondrial membranes by one or more translocase protein complexes (1). The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) facilitates the import of proteins through the outer mitochondrial membrane, while the complementary translocase of the inner membrane (TIM complex) is responsible for protein transport to the mitochondrial matrix. The TOM complex consists of the receptors TOM20, TOM22, TOM70, and the channel-forming protein TOM40 (1).
    TOM70 serves as a docking partner for cytosolic chaperone proteins and thus participates in the uptake of newly synthesized chaperone-bound proteins during mitochondrial biogenesis (2). In addition, TOM70 may play a role in Parkinson's disease since it is involved in recruiting PINK1 and Parkin to mitochondria. PINK1 and Parkin are activated after mitochondrial membrane depolarization, thus identifying uncoupled and damaged mitochondria (3). In addition, the protein encoded by Orf9b in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 binds to TOM70, leading to suppression of interferon responses (4).
