Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab10983 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ICC/IF | 1/500. PubMed: 22545021 | |
| WB | 1/1000. Detects a band of approximately 32 kDa. Use at a minimum dilution of 1/1000 in extract of rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) mitochondria or an extract of E.coli expressing recombinant mouse UCP1. Additional weak bands may be detected in some preparations of BAT extracts. Staining of the UCP1 band is specifically inhibited with the immunizing peptide. This antibody may not be suitable for Western blot in Human samples. | |
| IHC-P | 1/500. This concentration is determined by indirect immunoperoxidase staining of protease digested, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of mouse brown adipose tissue. |
Target
-
FunctionUCP 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.
-
Tissue specificityBrown adipose tissue.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.
Contains 3 Solcar repeats. -
Cellular localizationMitochondrion inner membrane.

Fig 3.; doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1001314; April 24, 2012, PLoS Biol 10(4): e1001314.ab10983, staining UCP1 (green), in undifferentiated (left) and differentiated (right) murine fat progenitor cells, by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence.
Cells were incubated with primary antibody at 1/500 dilution. An AlexaFluor®546-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were stained using DAPI (blue). -
