Literature on SLC25A27
SLC25A27 [ENSP00000360398]
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 4; 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; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
