Mus musculus

Also known as UCP-3; Slc25a9

Gene ID: 22229 | Gene type: protein coding

About Ucp3

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]
