Target Details for UCP2

Target: UCP2 (Uncoupling Protein 2 (Mitochondrial, Proton Carrier) (UCP2))

Alternative Name: UCP2

Background: Uncoupling proteins (UCP1-5) are a family of mitochondria transport proteins that play a critical role in thermoregulatory heat production and maintenance of basal metabolic rate. UCP3 is predicted to contain 6 transmembrane domains. The UCP3S lacks the 6th transmembrane domain and it is only 275 aa long. Mouse/rat UCP2 is A 309 AA (human 309 aa chromosome 7, ~95% homology) mitochondrial uncoupling protein. UCP2 has wide tissue distribution in mouse tissues (brain, kidney, liver, brown adipose tissue, heart, and muscle). UCP2 may play a critical role in energy balance, body weight, and thermoregulation.

Pathways: Negative Regulation of Hormone Secretion, Carbohydrate Homeostasis, Proton Transport
