Ucp3 - uncoupling protein 3 (mitochondrial, proton carrier) Gene

Also Known as UCP-3; Slc25a9

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 22229

Summary

Enables Oxidative Phosphorylation uncoupler activity. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process and response to superoxide. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in adipose tissue; heart; and skeletal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary restenosis; diabetic neuropathy; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and obesity. Orthologous to human UCP3 (uncoupling protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
