Background Information
UCP2 (uncoupling protein 2) is a member of the mitochondrial carrier protein super family located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The UCPs differ greatly in tissue distribution: UCP1 is expressed only in brown adipose; UCP3 preferentially in skeletal muscle, brown adipose and heart; UCP4 and UCP5 mainly in the nervous system (18167556). In contract, UCP2 has a broad distribution and is implicated in a wide range of pathophysiological processes, including diabetes and cancer. This antibody detect a band around 28-33 kDa corresponding to UCP2 protein in mouse liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Some upper and lower bands also were observed due to the dimer formation and degradation of the UCP2 protein (20103532). This antibody was raised against the full-length UCP2 protein and may cross-react with UCP3. It is notable that UCP2 is known to have a very short half-life less than 1 hour (17240372). It is strongly recommended that fresh-made lysate be used for western blot assays.
