function: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.,polymorphism:The Thr-64 polymorphism is associated with an increased waist-to-hip ratio. The Leu-229 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to type II diabetes mellitus.,similarity:Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.,similarity:Contains 3 Solcar repeats.,subunit:Acts as a dimer forming a proton channel.,tissue specificity:Brown adipose tissue.,
Mitochondrion inner membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Brown adipose tissue.
