Summary: Enables long-chain fatty acid binding activity; oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler activity; and purine ribonucleotide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cold; diet induced thermogenesis; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within brown fat cell differentiation and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; adrenal gland; submandibular gland; telencephalon; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
