Background
UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1), a 33 kDa integral membrane protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of brown adipose tissue, operates as a protonophore that dissipates the electrochemical gradient generated by the electron transport chain, thereby uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis and converting the released chemical energy into heat (non-shivering thermogenesis); it is activated by cold-induced sympathetic release of norepinephrine via β3-adrenergic receptors, which elevates cAMP and triggers lipolysis, liberating free fatty acids that both allosterically activate UCP1 and serve as respiratory substrates, while purine nucleotides (ATP/ADP) inhibit its activity competitively, and its transcription is synergistically regulated by PGC-1α, PPARγ, and the thyroid hormone T3, making UCP1 a critical determinant of systemic energy expenditure and a promising target for anti-obesity therapeutics.

Immunohistochemistry
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse brown adipose. Anti-UCP1 antibody was used at 1/250 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse white adipose. Anti-UCP1 antibody was used at 1/250 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
Immunofluorescence
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse brown adipose. Anti-UCP1 antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
