We looked at the thermogenesis levels of our KO mice using this antibody which is molecular marker for heat production to see if our KO has high level of heat production to protect from obesity. We can get a clear band of UCP1 in subcutaneous fat and brown fat tissue which are both responsible for thermogenesis.

Summary

The Good

The WB band is strong even when you use high dilution concentration.

The Bad

Every time we need to thaw it because it was stored in-80 C.

The Bottom Line

Overall this antibody is good to check UCP1 levels using WB technology.
