TTC is a redox indicator used to detect cellular respiration. It is primarily reduced by Complex I in mitochondria and, under anaerobic conditions, is completely reduced to an insoluble red 1,3,5-triphenylformazan. TTC assays are typically used as a mitochondrial redox potential indicator for cell death.
