  ID: UCP1_MOUSE
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1; Short=UCP 1; AltName: Full=Solute carrier family 25 member 7; AltName: Full=Thermogenin;
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.
SUBUNIT: Acts as a dimer forming a proton channel.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brown adipose tissue.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 3 Solcar repeats.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on P12242
FrontTopSide
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
