Linkage Between Markers in the Vicinity of the Uncoupling Protein 2 Gene and Resting Metabolic Rate in Humans
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The recent cloning of a gene that codes for a novel uncoupling protein, UCP2, which is expressed in a wide range of adult human tissues, has raised the possibility that it may be involved in regulation of energy balance. To explore this concept we have investigated potential linkage relationships between three microsatellite markers which encompass the UCP2 gene location on 11q13 with resting metabolic rate...
