MITO-Tag Mice use Cre-Lox recombination to express a mitochondria-targeted epitope tag in specific cell types or tissues. This epitope tag allows the rapid and direct isolation of mitochondria from the cell types or tissues of interest. Mitochondria isolated from these tissues can then be analyzed using multiomic approaches, including metabolite and protein identification and quantification by mass spectrometry.
