Anti-UCP3 Antibody

Raised in rabbit, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com binds Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3), a mitochondrial inner-membrane carrier tied to energy expenditure, fatty acid handling, and the regulation of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue.

The 100 µl unit is supplied as a 1 mg/ml stock in PBS supplemented with 0.1% Sodium Azide and 50% glycerol, ready for direct use in standard immunolabelling workflows after dilution into blocking buffer.

Validated applications include Western blot detection of the ~34 kDa UCP3 band, immunohistochemistry on fixed tissue sections, and immunofluorescence on cultured cells, all using the unconjugated primary followed by standard secondary detection.

Reactivity is confirmed for human, mouse, and rat samples, making the reagent practical for comparative studies of thermogenesis, exercise physiology, and metabolic disease models such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

For short-term storage, keep the vial refrigerated; for longer-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity.
