UCP4_HUMAN Protein

Name Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 4
Description UCP are mitochondrial transporter proteins that create proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thus uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. As a result, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. May play a role in thermoregulatory heat production and metabolism in brain.
UniProt ID O95847
Gene SLC25A27
