释义 | UCP2UCP2A gene on chromosome 11q13 that encodes one of the mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP), which belong to the family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACPs). UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis (the so-called mitochondrial proton leak); facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane, and protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane; and reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. UCPs contain the 3 homologous protein domains of MACPs; UCP2 is expressed in many tissues, especially in skeletal muscle, and thought to play a role in thermogenesis, obesity and diabetes.UCP2
