Mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1; also Thermogenin and UCP) is a 33 kDa member of the mitochondrial carrier family of proteins. Human and mouse UCP1 are both 307 amino acids (aa) in length and contain three solcar repetitive regions and six transmembrane segments. UCP1 is found in brown adipose tissue, where it becomes activated by fatty acids and inhibited by nucleotides. It functions as a mitochondrial transporter that creates a proton leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane, uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. As a result, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. Human and mouse UCP1 share 79% aa sequence identity.

Detection of Human UCP1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows recombinant human UCP1, recombinant human UCP2, recombinant human UCP3, and recombinant human UCP4 (5 ng/lane). PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse UCP1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6158) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.Detection of Mouse UCP1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of mouse brown adipose tissue and mouse adipose tissue. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse UCP1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6158) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for UCP1 at approximately 33 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.UCP1 in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
UCP1 was detected in immersion fixed human mesenchymal stem cells undifferentiated (lower panel) or differentiated into adipocytes (upper panel) using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse UCP1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6158) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Human primary abdominal subcutaneous preadipocytes were differentiated to B for 14 days (B14), then either the B culture conditions were applied for an additional 14 days (B21 and B28) or were replaced by a W differentiation medium (B14W7 and B14W14). As a negative control, W adipocytes were differentiated by their specific cocktail (W14, W21, and W28). UCP1 (A) gene, (B) protein, (C) CIDEA, and (D) LEP gene expression.
