SQOR antibody detects Sulfide quinone oxidoreductase, a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first step in hydrogen sulfide oxidation. The UniProt recommended name is Sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR). Also known as Sulfide quinone reductase-like protein (SQRDL), this flavoprotein converts toxic hydrogen sulfide to persulfide intermediates, linking sulfur metabolism to cellular respiration.
Functionally, SQOR antibody identifies a 450-amino-acid mitochondrial inner membrane enzyme containing a covalently bound FAD cofactor. SQOR transfers electrons from hydrogen sulfide to ubiquinone, producing reduced ubiquinol for the respiratory chain while forming a persulfide on its catalytic cysteine residue. This reaction detoxifies sulfide and integrates it into mitochondrial energy metabolism.
The SQOR gene is located on chromosome 15q26.1 and is widely expressed, with highest levels in liver, kidney, and heart. It is localized to the mitochondrial inner membrane facing the intermembrane space, forming part of the mitochondrial sulfide oxidation pathway along with ETHE1, TST, and SUOX. SQOR activity ensures sulfide homeostasis and prevents respiratory inhibition by excess H2S.
Pathologically, SQOR deficiency disrupts sulfide metabolism, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Altered expression has been observed in cardiovascular disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and metabolic disorders. By maintaining sulfide balance, SQOR contributes to redox regulation and cellular protection. Research using SQOR antibody aids in studying sulfur metabolism, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and redox biology.
SQOR antibody is suitable for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to detect mitochondrial sulfur oxidation enzymes. NSJ Bioreagents provides validated SQOR antibody reagents designed for redox biology and mitochondrial function research.
Structurally, Sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase features an FAD-binding domain and transmembrane regions anchoring it to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its catalytic mechanism involves cysteine persulfide intermediates and electron transfer to coenzyme Q. This antibody enables investigation of SQOR's enzymatic role in sulfur and redox metabolism.
Optimal dilution of the SQOR antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human SQRDL/SQOR recombinant protein (Position: R12-E321) was used as the immunogen for the SQOR antibody.
After reconstitution, the SQOR antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
