The immunohistochemical reaction of monoclonal as well as polyclonal antibodies against cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunits with serial sections of normal human skeletal muscle was investigated. The stronger reactivity of polyclonal antibodies to COX subunits II-III and VIIbc with type I as compared to type II fibres, correlated well with the higher histochemical reactivity of NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase in type I fibres. In contrast an almost exclusive reaction of a monoclonal antibody against subunit IV with type I fibre and a preponderant reaction of a polyclonal antibody against subunits Vab with type II fibres was obtained. Antibodies against subunits I, Vb and VIc did not reveal a fibre-type-specific reactivity. The data indicate in human muscle the occurrence of fibre type-specific isozymes of cytochrome c oxidase differing in subunits IV and Va or Vb.

D003576 Electron Transport Complex IV A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
