Mitochondria Fraction Western Blot Cocktail (ab139416) contains 3 mAbs each targeting a specific organelle marker. The presence of mitochondria is determined by Anti-ATP5A ; cytosol by Anti-GAPDH; and nucleus by Anti-Histone H3 (di methyl K9). This cocktail is suitable for determining the purity of organelle isolates prior to further characterization.

This product is particularly valuable to researchers working in organelle proteomics. Mass spectrometry is frequently used in this field to determine the protein content of targeted organelle isolates. These isolates are obtained using differential centrifugation, density gradient fractionation, biochemical enrichment, or affinity purification. Unfortunately, the various methods of purification available for organelle isolation are imperfect and leave behind contaminants from undesired regions of the cell. These contaminants are inevitable, but being aware of which contaminants are present is crucial for analysis of mass spectrometry results. The high sensitivity and species cross reactivity of the antibodies in this cocktail will quickly and easily reveal impurities caused by imperfect sample preparation.
