Linkage and association analyses of the UCP3 gene with obesity phenotypes in Caucasian families.

Physiological genomics - 14 Jul 2005

Abstract excerpt

Uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) uncouples ATP production from mitochondrial respiration, thereby dissipating energy as heat and affecting the efficiency of energy metabolism. Genetic variations in the UCP3 gene have been conceived to affect body weight in the general population. In this study, using...
