The UCP2 protein is a transmembrane protein found in mitochondrias in different tissues such as white adipose and muscular tissues. This protein allows an uncoupling of the electrochemical potential of membrane in the respiratory chain of mitochondria resulting in a heat creation. This protein is a carrier of protons and chlorides.
