Kreuzreaktivität (Details)
This human UCP2 peptide sequence is 100 % conserved in rat and mouse, and 92 % in canine, bovine, and pig UCP2. UCP2 has no significant homology with UCP1, UCP3-5.

Affinity chromatography purified
Immunogen
UCP2 antibody was raised in rabbit using a 13 amino acid peptide from mouse UCP2 as the immunogen.
Uncoupling proteins (UCP1-5) are a family of mitochondria transport proteins that play a critical role in thermoregulatory heat production and maintenance of basal metabolic rate. UCP3 is predicted to contain 6 transmembrane domains. The UCP3S lacks the 6th transmembrane domain and it is only 275 aa long. Mouse/rat UCP2 is A 309 AA (human 309 aa chromosome 7, ~95% homology) mitochondrial uncoupling protein. 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.
