About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for UCP1 Gene:

Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are members of the family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP).

UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis with energy dissipated as heat, also referred to as

the mitochondrial proton leak. UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial

membrane and the return transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. They also reduce

the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. Tissue specificity occurs for the different UCPs and the

exact methods of how UCPs transfer H+/OH- are not known. UCPs contain the three homologous protein domains of

MACPs. This gene is expressed only in brown adipose tissue, a specialized tissue which functions to produce heat.

GeneCards Summary for UCP1 Gene:

UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1 (mitochondrial, proton carrier)) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with UCP1 include multiple symmetric lipomatosis, and obesity. GO annotations related to this gene include oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler activity. An important paralog of this gene is UCP3.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: UCP1_HUMAN, P25874

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
