SDHA Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total SDHA protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human SDHA protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), also known as Complex II or succinate:quinone oxidoreductase, is a key component of the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain (1). Specifically, it is involved in the oxidation of succinate (2). SDH consists of four subunits: SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD (3). Defects in SDHA cause complex II deficiency (2). In addition, reduction of SDHA has been observed in the striatum of patients with Huntington’s Disease (3). Reduction of SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD are often observed in paragangliomas and phenochromocytomas (4,5).
