Descripción

Immunogen

14 aa peptide sequence near the C-terminus of the mouse UCP2 (Fleury et al. 1997). The peptide has no significant homology with UCP1 or UCP3 (Boss et al. 1997). This peptide is available for blocking as catalog number AG788.

Application

Anti-Uncoupling Protein 2 Antibody is an antibody against Uncoupling Protein 2 for use in ELISA & WB.

Research Category
Metabolism

Research Sub Category
Ion & Transport Channels

Western Blotting: 1-10 μg/mL using Chemiluminescence technique.

ELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000; using 50-100 ng UCP2 control peptide/well.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2), mouse. Mouse UCP2 is a 309 amino acid mitochondrial uncoupling protein (Fleury et al. 1997). It is only 59% homologous with UCP1 found in brown adipose tissues. Mouse UCP2 (chromosome 7) has approximately 95% homology with human UCP2 located on chromosome 11 (Fleury et al. 1997). 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 (Fleury 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 in rat, 86% homology in human, porcine, canine and bovine.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS, pH 7.4 with 0.1% BSA as stabilizer and 0.02% sodium merthiolate.

Preparation Note

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
