The purification of mitochondrial proteins is an essential step in the investigation of mitochondrial diseases and the comprehension of mitochondrial function. To comprehensively analyze the dynamic alterations in protein composition, expression levels, modification states, as well as to elucidate protein function and interactions, it is imperative to initially separate and purify mitochondrial proteins. Protheragen offers comprehensive solutions for isolating high-quality mitochondrial proteins from various sample types.
Applications of Purified Mitochondrial Proteins
The purification of mitochondrial proteins has been widely utilized in the research field of mitochondrial disease.
- Functional Assays
Purified mitochondrial proteins can be used for functional assays to study mitochondrial bioenergetics, enzyme activities, protein-protein interactions, and signaling pathways.
- Structural Studies
Researchers can use purified mitochondrial proteins for structural studies, such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, or cryo-electron microscopy, to elucidate their three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanisms.
- Drug Discovery
Purified mitochondrial proteins serve as valuable targets for drug discovery and development, allowing researchers to screen for potential therapeutics targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in various diseases, including mitochondrial disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Biomarker Discovery
Researchers can identify mitochondrial biomarkers and protein signatures associated with different diseases by analyzing purified mitochondrial proteins from clinical samples, providing insights into disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic interventions.
Our Services
The mitochondrial protein purification process offered by Protheragen integrates advanced techniques with rigorous quality control measures. From sample preparation to final purification, each step is meticulously optimized to achieve maximum yield and purity.
Sample Preparation
We carefully prepare the samples to ensure optimal protein yield and integrity. This may involve cell lysis, tissue homogenization, or blood component separation, depending on the sample type.
Mitochondrial Protein Extraction
We use appropriate detergents and buffers to solubilize mitochondrial membranes and extract mitochondrial proteins while preserving their native structure and function.
Mitochondrial Isolation
We employ techniques such as differential centrifugation density gradient centrifugation to isolate mitochondria from! the cellular or tissue lysate. This step ensures efficient separation of mitochondria from other cellular components.
Protein Purification
We employ chromatographic techniques, such as affinity chromatography or size exclusion chromatography, to purify mitochondrial proteins based on their biochemical properties, such as size, charge, or affinity for specific ligands.
