A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of SDHB antibody, Alternative Names: SDHB control peptide, SDHB antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-SDHB Blocking Peptide, Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex Subunit B Iron Sulfur Blocking Peptide, IP Blocking Peptide, PGL4 Blocking Peptide, SDH Blocking Peptide, SDH1 Blocking Peptide, SDHIP Blocking Peptide
Complex II of the respiratory chain, which is specifically involved in the oxidation of succinate, carries electrons from FADH to CoQ. The complex is composed of four nuclear-encoded subunits and is localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The iron-sulfur subunit is highly conserved and contains three cysteine-rich clusters which may comprise the iron-sulfur centers of the enzyme. Sporadic and familial mutations in this gene result in paragangliomas and pheochromocytoma, and support a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and tumorigenesis.
