Mouse Mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie is designed for the precise measurement of Mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) levels in mouse samples. It is reactive against mouse samples and validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

Key performance characteristics include a detection range of 78-5000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 40.5pg/mL, with intra-assay CV of 5.5% and inter-assay CV of 7.9%. The kit recognises natural and recombinant mouse UCP1 and is intended for research use only, supporting cardiovascular research into brown fat biology, energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation.

UCP1 is a mitochondrial protein responsible for thermogenic respiration in brown adipose tissue and beige fat, contributing to non-shivering adaptive thermogenesis and the regulation of energy balance. The kit provides researchers with a tool for studying this process and its relevance to obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
