Summary: Enables GDP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; macrophage differentiation; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Located in mitochondrial membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebral cortex; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and nose. Used to study polycystic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); diabetic neuropathy; end stage renal disease; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and obesity. Orthologous to human UCP2 (uncoupling protein 2). [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.
