Product Name :
UCP1 polyclonal antibody Background :
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a mitochondrial inner membrane transport protein that is primarily expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT). UCP1 dissipates the pH gradient resulting from oxidative phosphorylation, which uncouples ATP synthesis from oxidative phosphorylation and leads to the release of heat energy. As a result, UCP1 plays an important role in thermogenesis. Research studies indicate that subcutaneous white adipose depots in mice contain beige adipocytes that express low levels of UCP1 protein. Additional studies show possible differences in thermogenesis in individuals carrying specific polymorphisms in the corresponding UCP1 gene. Related studies link UCP1 to the possible development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
