Background Information
COX4I1, also named as COX4 and COXIV-1, belongs to the cytochrome c oxidase IV family. It is one of the nuclear-coded polypeptide chains of cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal oxidase in mitochondrial electron transport. COX4I1 is a marker for mitochondria. It has two isoforms (isoform 1 and 2). Isoform 1(COX4I1) is ubiquitously expressed and isoform 2 is highly expressed in lung tissues. COX4I1 is commonly used as a loading control. This antibody was generated against full length COX4I1 protein and cross reacts with COX4I2.

Reviews
What customers say
Users report consistently positive results with this antibody across 7 reviews (average ~4.7/5). It performs well in Western Blot and Immunofluorescence, producing clear bands at the expected molecular weight with strong signal. Tested successfully in mouse heart mitochondria, human fibroblasts, HEK293 cells, primary human cell fractions, and isolated sperm. One user noted a slightly diffuse band, but overall specificity is praised. Recommended dilutions range from 1:500 to 1:1000 for WB and 1:200 for IF.
