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.
Reactome Pathway
The proton buffering model (R-HSA-167827 )
The fatty acid cycling model (R-HSA-167826 )
