UCP1 - Ucp1 uncoupling protein 1 Gene

Also Known as Ucp; Ucpa; Uncp

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 24860

Summary

Enables GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and Oxidative Phosphorylation uncoupler activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hormone stimulus; cellular response to lipid; and proton transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Biomarker of prediabetes syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1).
