Western Blotting: 1-10 μg/mL using Chemiluminescence technique.

Immunohistochemistry: 2-20 μg/mL on formaldehyde fixed tissue.

ELISA: (1:10,000-1:100,000 using 50-100 ng UCP32 control peptide/well).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3), human. It is expected that the antibody will recognize both the long and short forms (30-33 kDa & 24-27 kDa) however splice variants are expected and precise reactivity profile has yet to be determined. Human UCP3 long form (UCP3L) is a 312 aa mitochondrial uncoupling protein (Boss et al. 1997; Vidal-Puig et al. 1997). It is only 57% and 73% homologous with human UCP1 and UCP2 respectively. Like other UCPs, UCP3 is predicted to contain 6 transmembrane domains. The UCP3S lacks the 6th transmembrane domain and is only 275 aa long (Vidal-Puig et al. 1997). UCP3 has preferential expression in muscle and it is unaffected by cold acclimation.

14 amino acid peptide sequence (designated UCP32) mapping near the C-terminus of human UCP3 (Boss et al. 1997). The UCP32 peptide has no significant homology with UCP1 or UCP2.
