Used in biomedical research to quantitatively measure levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV in mouse tissue samples or cell lysates. This kit is particularly valuable in studies related to mitochondrial function, oxidative phosphorylation, and cellular energy metabolism. It helps researchers investigate mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, aging, and the effects of drugs or toxins on mitochondrial health. The assay enables early detection of complex IV deficiency, which is associated with various metabolic and neuromuscular diseases. It is commonly used in neuroscience, pharmacology, and molecular biology laboratories for high-throughput analysis with high sensitivity and specificity.
