Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Mouse Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) Control/blocking peptide # 1 UCP11-P

Mouse Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) Control/blocking peptide # 1 General Information 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. BAT is able to dissipate energy as heat via uncoupled mitochondrial respir SugApplications Control or blocking peptides are recommended for ELISA plate coating for direct ELISA testing of antibodies or competitive ELISA, and antibody blocking or neutralization. SpeciesReactivity Mouse Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen 12-aa peptide from mouse/rat UCP1 (1); Designation (UCP11-P, control/blocking peptide) conjugated to KLH; Epitope location~ C-terminal, Cytoplasmic domain SpCrossreactivity The UCP11-P peptide sequences is 100% conserved in mouse/rat, 91% in golden hamster, 83% in rabbit and pig, and 75% in human and canine UCP1. UCP11-P has no significant homology with UCP2-5. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
