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. | 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. The UCP2 protein is found in Homo sapiens and it is known under other names: BMIQ4, SLC25A8, UCPH. The gene coding for this protein is found on the chromosome 11 and has 5 transcripts for Homo sapiens. | ||
