    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Tom20 (D8T4N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody #42406.

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 495 nm ← Emission: 519 nm

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) 1:50 - 1:200

    Storage

    Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Tom20 (D8T4N) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total Tom20 protein. This antibody does not have detectable signal by indirect fluorescent detection in frozen mouse tissue.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human Tom20 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). TOM20 is localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane and initially recognizes precursors with a presequence to facilitate protein import across the outer mitochondrial membrane (2). In a sequential process, recognition of the presequence by TOM20 is followed by tethering of the presequence to the TOM40 protein complex for efficient protein import (3).
