Human Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) ELISA Kit

Designed for the precise quantification of human Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3), this Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is intended for research applications. UCP3 is a mitochondrial transporter protein that creates proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane, uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation so that energy is dissipated as heat. The protein participates in thermogenesis and energy balance, and dysregulation of UCP3 has been linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, making it a valuable biomarker for study.

The assay is reactive with human samples, including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. It uses a colorimetric ELISA method with a detection range of 78-5000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 40.6pg/mL, and is specific for natural and recombinant human UCP3. The target is also known by the synonyms Solute carrier family 25 member 9, UCP 3 and SLC25A9, and is associated with the UniProt entry P55916. For research use only.
