Gene Information

human ... UCP2(7351)

General description

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein. It expressed in various regions of the brain. In non-human primates, it is present in the hypothalamic nuclei, pituitary gland, brainstem, ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra. It is located on human chromosome 11q13.

Immunogen

Peptide with sequence C-DSVKQFYTKGSEH from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_003346.2.

Application

Anti-uncoupling protein 2/UCP2 antibody has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) controls energy metabolism and decreases the production of reactive oxygen species and guards against reperfusion damage. It plays a vital role in uncoupling electron transport from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) formation.
