Gene names: SLC25A27, UCP4, UNQ772/PRO1566Protein names and data: UCP4_HUMAN, Full=Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 4;Short=UCP 4, Full=Solute carrier family 25 member 27; Length: 323 a.a., Mass: 36064 Da,
fasta formatted sequence
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. May play a role in thermoregulatory heat production and metabolism in brain
Cellular location: Mitochondrion inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Found in adult and fetal brain. Present in most of the brain tissues, with low levels in spinal chord, corpus callosum and substantia nigra
