Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) is a members of the larger family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP). UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane and transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane, reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells.
Structure of the human uncoupling protein UCP1. An uncoupling protein (UCP) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is a regulated proton channel or transporter.An uncoupling protein is thus capable of dissipating the proton gradient generated by NADH-powered pumping of protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
Many MC proteins preferentially catalyze the exchange of one solute for another ().A variety of these substrate carrier proteins, which are involved in energy transfer, have been found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and other eukaryotic organelles such as the peroxisome and facilitate the transport of inorganic ions, nucleotides, amino acids, keto acids and cofactors across the membrane.
In contrast to UCP1 and UCP3, which are primarily expressed in adipose and smooth muscle, UCP2 is expressed on many different tissues [6] including the kidney, liver, GI tract, brain, and skeletal muscle. The exact mechanisms of anion transfer by UCPs are not known. [7] UCPs contain the three homologous protein domains of MACPs.
UCP3 also reduces the risk of type 1 diabetes, indicating UCPs prevent mitochondrial-mediated neuronal injury (Kumar, 2022). The capacity to control elements affected by energy balance, such as 3-adrenoreceptor agonists, food intake, and exposure to cold, is shared by UCPs 1, 2, and 3. Lastly, cardiovascular disease is associated with UCP3.
