Nori Chicken UCP2 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of UCP2 in chicken. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for UCP2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any UCP2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for UCP2 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of UCP2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are members of the larger family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP). UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis with energy dissipated as heat, also referred to as the mitochondrial proton leak.[1] UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane and the return transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. They also reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. Tissue specificity occurs for the different UCPs and the exact methods of how UCPs transfer H+/OH- are not known. UCPs contain the three homologous protein domains of MACPs. This gene is expressed in many tissues, with the greatest expression in skeletal muscle [2] and liver.[3] Although it was originally thought to play a role in nonshivering thermogenesis, obesity,[4] diabetes and atherosclerosis, it now appears that the main function of UCP2 is the control of mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species.[5] UCP2 plays an essential role in neuroprotection.[6] like UCP3, UCP2 interacts with members of 14.3.3 family.[7]
