The UCP2 protein (mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2, also known as: BMIQ4, SLC25A8, UCPH <ref>[[http://may2017.archive.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000175567;r=11:73974667-73983307]]) is a widely expressed transmembrane protein found in mitochondria in different tissues such as white adipose and muscular tissues. It allows an uncoupling of the electrochemical potential of the membrane in the respiratory chain of mitochondria by letting protons pass through the membrane, resulting in energy dissipation in form of heat. The protein is involved in preventing mitochondrial oxidative stress from accumulating. <ref> | The UCP2 protein (mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2, also known as: BMIQ4, SLC25A8, UCPH <ref>[[http://may2017.archive.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000175567;r=11:73974667-73983307]] </ref>) is a widely expressed transmembrane protein found in mitochondria in different tissues such as white adipose and muscular tissues.
