Specificity
Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2), human. Human UCP2 is a 309 amino acid mitochondrial uncoupling protein (Fleury et al. 1997; Gimeon et al. 1997). It is only 59% homologous with UCP1 found in brown adipose tissues. UCP2 has wide tissue distribution in tissues (brain, kidney, liver, brown adipose tissue, heart, and muscle). UCP2 may play a critical role in energy balance, body weight, and thermoregulation (Fleury et al. 1997; Gimeon et al. 1997; Flier & Lowell 1997).
SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The antibody has not yet been tested for cross-reactivity to other species. The sequence used for immunization shows 100% homology to mouse and rat UCP2 and 92% homology with canine, porcine and bovine.

Immunogen
13 aa peptide sequence near the 3rd and 4th transmembrane domain of human UCP2 (Fleury et al. 1997; Gimeon et al. 1997). The peptide has no significant homology with UCP1, UCP3 or UCP4 (Boss et al. 1997).
Application
Detect Uncoupling Protein 2 using this Anti-Uncoupling Protein 2 Antibody validated for use in ELISA & WB.

The initiation and progression of breast cancer is a complex process that is influenced by heterogeneous cell populations within the tumor microenvironment. Although adipocytes have been shown to promote breast cancer development, adipocyte characteristics involved in this process remain poorly

Doxorubicin-based chemotherapy is limited by the development of dose-dependent left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Uncoupling proteins (UCP) can inhibit mitochondrial ROS production as well as decrease myocyte damage from exogenous ROS. Prior

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) oxidizes pyruvate to acetyl CoA and is critically important in maintaining normal cellular energy homeostasis. Loss-of-function mutations in PDC give rise to congenital lactic acidosis and to progressive cellular energy failure. However, the subsequent biochemical
