Description
UCP1 Antibody (PACO20815)
The UCP1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC020815) is a valuable tool for researchers studying uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a mitochondrial protein involved in thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Raised in rabbits, this antibody is highly specific for human UCP1 and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to UCP1, researchers can accurately detect and quantify the expression of this key protein in various tissues and cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in metabolism, obesity, and brown adipose tissue biology.
UCP1 plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance and heat production, making it a target of interest in research on metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. By understanding the function and regulation of UCP1, researchers can uncover insights into potential therapeutic strategies for these conditions. The UCP1 Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable asset for unraveling the intricate mechanisms that govern energy expenditure and thermogenesis, with implications for the development of novel treatments for metabolic diseases.

Background: | 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. |
Synonyms: | uncoupling protein 1 (mitochondrial, proton carrier) |
UniProt Protein Function: | 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. |
