A synthesized peptide derived from human UCP1+UCP3
Conjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Names:
UCP1, UCP3,
UCP are mitochondrial transporter proteins that create proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thus uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. As a result, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. May play a role in the modulation of tissue respiratory control. Participates in thermogenesis and energy balance (By similarity).
