Entry terms

  • Mitochondrial UCPs
  • Protein, Uncoupling
  • UCPs, Mitochondrial
  • Uncoupling Protein
  • Uncoupling Proteins

Scope note

  • Mitochondrial anion carrier proteins that function as dimers and form proton channels in the INNER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE which creates proton leaks and uncouples OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION from ATP synthesis, resulting in the generation of heat instead of ATP.
