Target
-
Function
UCP 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 specificity
Brown adipose tissue. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.
Contains 3 Solcar repeats. -
Cellular localization
Mitochondrion inner membrane. - Information by UniProt

Immunohistochemistry - Anti-UCP1 antibody (ab23841)Image from Liu W et al., PLoS Genet. 2006;8:11958-63. Fig 5.; doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1003626 Reproduced under the Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ab23841 staining UCP1 in serial sections of white fat from mice by immunohistochemistry. Serial sections were de-paraffinized, rehydrated through xylene, ethanol and water; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in blocking buffer) for 60 minutes. A HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.
