This antibody is 100% conserved in Human, Rat and Mice and 94 % in Bovine
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
This UCP1 peptide sequence is 100 % conserved in mouse/rat, 91 % in golden hamster, 83 % in rabbit and pig, and 75 % in human and canine UCP1. It has no significant homology with UCP2-5.
Purification
Affinity chromatography purified
Immunogen
UCP1 antibody was raised in rabbit using a 12 amino acid peptide from mouse/rat UCP1 as the immunogen.

Background
Uncoupling proteins (UCP1-5) are a family of mitochondria transport proteins that play a critical role in thermoregulatory heat production and maintenance of basal metabolic rate. UCP1 is predicted to contain 6 trans-membrane (TM) domains, a putative purine nucleotide-binding domain (PNBD) and three-mitochondrial energy transfer protein domains (ETPDs).
