UCP2 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN2859404

Product Details anti-UCP2 Antibody

Target: UCP2 (Uncoupling Protein 2 (Mitochondrial, Proton Carrier) (UCP2))

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This UCP2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)

Cross-Reactivity (Details): This Mouse UCP2 peptide sequences is 92 % conserved in rat and hamster, 86 % in human, canine, and pig UCP2. It has no significant homology with UCP1, UCP3-5. This peptide is not suitable for western blot because of its low mol. Wt.

Purification: Affinity chromatography purified

Immunogen: UCP2 antibody was raised in rabbit using a 14 amino acid peptide from mouse UCP2 as the immunogen.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000, HC: 2-20 µg/mL, IF: 2-20 µg/mL, WB: 1-10 µg/mL
Optimal conditions should be determined by the investigator.

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. UCP3 is predicted to contain 6 transmembrane domains. The UCP3S lacks the 6th transmembrane domain and it is only 275 aa long. Mouse/rat UCP2 is A 309 AA (human 309 aa chromosome 7, ~95% homology) mitochondrial uncoupling protein. UCP2 has wide tissue distribution in mouse tissues (brain, kidney, liver, brown adipose tissue, heart, and muscle). UCP2 may play a critical role in energy balance, body weight, and thermoregulation.
