Protein Concentration25µg size is bottled at 0.2mg/mL concentration. 100 µg size is supplied at a lot-specific concentration.
Storage and HandlingBriefly centrifuge the vial upon receipt. An unopened vial can be stored at 4°C for up to 2 weeks, or at -20°C or below for up to six months. The protein may be further diluted to 0.1 mg/mL using 0.22 µm-filtered PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For long-term storage, the diluted stock solution should be aliquoted and stored at ≤ –70°C to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. If additional dilution is required, carrier proteins such as FBS or BSA should be added to maintain protein stability.

Background Information


SURF1 is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein encoded by the SURF1 gene. Surf1 involves in the assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), also known as complex IV of the respiratory chain. It contains multiple transmembrane domains and plays a crucial role in stabilizing early COX subunits during complex formation.
Mutations in SURF1 are a major cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive brain lesions, motor delays, and mitochondrial dysfunction. These mutations lead to isolated COX deficiency, impairing energy production in high-demand tissues like the brain. SURF1 is therefore critical to mitochondrial function, and its dysfunction is strongly associated with mitochondrial disease.
