Several key enzymes are commonly targeted in oxidative enzyme histochemistry:
Cytochrome Oxidase: An essential enzyme in the electron transport chain, cytochrome oxidase is used as a marker for mitochondrial activity. Succinate Dehydrogenase: This enzyme also plays a role in the electron transport chain and is often used to assess mitochondrial function. Peroxidase: Found in various tissues, this enzyme helps in studying oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.
