• Target description: NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 beta subcomplex subunit 8, mitochondrial (UniProt: O95169; also known as Complex I-ASHI, CI-ASHI, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase ASHI subunit) is encoded by the NDUFB8 gene (Gene ID: 4714) in human. In order to efficiently produce energy for all anabolic and maintenance functions, mitochondria are endowed with five different enzyme complexes. Complexes I, II, III, and IV are the electron transfer complexes, whereas complex V is an energy-conserving complex. NDUFB8 is an accessory subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I), that is not involved in catalysis. Complex I, which is embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane, is composed of 45 different subunits and functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. NDUFB8 is a single-pass membrane protein that is synthesized with a transit peptide (aa 1-28), which is subsequently cleaved off. Its transmembrane domain is localized in amino acids 133-154. Mutations in NDUFB8 gene are known to cause mitochondrial complex ! deficiency of nuclear type 32. It is the most common biochemical signature of mitochondrial disorders that leads to defective oxidative phosphorylation. Reactive nitrogen species is shown to induce nitration of NDUFB8 in endothelial cells and leads to alterations in mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibition of mitochondrial bioenergetics. Three isoforms of NDUFB8 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
