The polymorphisms of UCP2 and UCP3 genes associated with fat metabolism, obesity and diabetes.

Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 Sept 2009

Abstract excerpt

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) belong to the family of mitochondrial transporter proteins that may uncouple the transport of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane from electron transport and the synthesis of ATP from ADP, hence generating heat rather than energy. In mammals, more than five family members have been identified, including UCP1, UCP2, UCP3, UCP4 (or BMCP1/UCP5) and UCP5. The UCPs may play an...
