Usage Notes
* Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.

Description: This Human Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate UCP2 in samples. 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 removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for UCP2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, 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: 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. Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 is expressed in many tissues, with the greatest expression in skeletal muscle. Although it was originally thought to play a role in nonshivering thermogenesis, obesity and diabetes, it now appears that the main function of UCP2 is the control of mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species. Chromosomal order is 5'-UCP3-UCP2-3'.

Product Notes
The Human UCP2 ucp2 (Catalog #AAA330317) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA330317 ELISA Kit recognizes Human UCP2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
