Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit

Uses

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit has been used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential.

Uses

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit has been used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of PC-12 cells.

General Description

Mitochondria generate a potential across their membranes due to the activities of enzymes of the electron transport chain. During apoptosis, collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) coincides with the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pores, leading to the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, which in turn triggers other downstream events in the apoptotic cascade.
