Related Product Information for anti-UCP2 antibody
White and brown adipose tissues (WAT and BAT, respectively) play a central role in body weight and energy expenditure. WAT is the major site for energy storage via triglyceride synthesis and mobilization via lipolysis. Uncoupling proteins (UCP1-5) are a family of mitochondria transprt proteins that play a critical role in thermoregulatory heat production and maintenance of basal metabolic rate. BAT is able to dissipate energy as heat via uncoupled mitochondrial respiration by a mitochondrial anion carrier, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). UCP1 is predicted to contain 6 transmembrane (TM) domains, a putative purine nucleotide-binding domain (PNBD) and three-mitochondrial energy transfer protein domains (ETPDs). Both amino and C-termini are predicted to be cytoplasmic. Mouse/rat UCP2 is a 309aa (human 309aa, chromosome 7; ~95% homology) mitochondrial uncoupling protein. It is only 59% homologous with UCP1 found in brown adipose tissues. 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.

Uniprot Description
UCP2: 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 UCP2 ucp2 (Catalog #AAA6397954) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The UCP2 (Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 2, UCP 2, Solute Carrier Family 25 Member 8, UCPH, SLC25A8) (Biotin) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's UCP2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the UCP2 ucp2 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 "UCP2, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
