Protocol

Specificity / Sensitivity

UCP1 (E9Z2V) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total UCP1 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with UCP2 or UCP3 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Mouse, Rat

The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

Human

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro152 of human UCP1 protein.

Background

Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a mitochondrial inner membrane transport protein that is primarily expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT). UCP1 dissipates the pH gradient resulting from oxidative phosphorylation, which uncouples ATP synthesis from oxidative phosphorylation and leads to the release of heat energy. As a result, UCP1 plays an important role in thermogenesis (reviewed in 1). Research studies indicate that subcutaneous white adipose depots in mice contain beige adipocytes that express low levels of UCP1 protein (2). Additional studies show possible differences in thermogenesis in individuals carrying specific polymorphisms in the corresponding UCP1 gene (3). Related studies link UCP1 to the possible development of obesity and type 2 diabetes (4).
