Abstract excerpt
Two recently described uncoupling proteins, UCP2 and UCP3, may have important roles in determining feed conversion and/or maintenance energy requirements in livestock. Sequence was determined for the entire coding region and four of the six introns for bovine UCP3. A partial cDNA sequence was obtained for bovine UCP2. Radiation hybrid mapping was used to place UCP3 on BTA15, a chromosome previously shown to...
