Target Information

Target General Infomation
Target ID
T84560
Former ID
TTDR00083
Target Name
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2
Gene Name
UCP2
Synonyms
UCP 2; UCPH; UCP2
Target Type
Clinical Trial
Disease Obesity [ICD9: 278; ICD10: E66]
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.
BioChemical Class
Mitochondrial carrier
UniProt ID
P55851
