NCBI Description
Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are members of the family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP). UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis with energy dissipated as heat, also referred to as the mitochondrial proton leak. UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane and the return transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. They also reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. Tissue specificity occurs for the different UCPs and the exact methods of how UCPs transfer H+/OH- are not known. UCPs contain the three homologous protein domains of MACPs. This gene is expressed only in brown adipose tissue, a specialized tissue which functions to produce heat. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
UCP1: UCP are mitochondrial transporter proteins that create proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thus uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. As a result, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.

Product Notes
The UCP1 ucp1 (Catalog #AAA2097393) is a Small Molecule and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The OVA Conjugated Uncoupling Protein 1, Mitochondrial (UCP1) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Uncoupling Protein 1, Mitochondrial (UCP1) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunogen, SDS-PAGE, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the UCP1 ucp1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Uncoupling Protein 1, Mitochondrial (UCP1), Small Molecule" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
