摘要
综述了UCP(解耦联蛋白家族)的结构、功能及研究进展。
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial membrane transporters involved in themogenesis. Metabolized energy is converted into heat by uncoupling of the oxidation and phosphorylation on respiration chain from ATP synthesis. UCPs affect body weight gain (obesity), resting metabolic rates and feed intake, which are all involved in energy balance . In this paper, the research development, structures and functions of UCPs are reviewed.
