Predicted to enable oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler activity and proton transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including response to fenofibrate; response to insulin; and response to superoxide. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of congestive heart failure; hypertension; hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; and prediabetes syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary restenosis; diabetic neuropathy; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and obesity. Orthologous to human UCP3 (uncoupling protein 3); INTERACTS WITH (+)-catechin; 6-propyl-2-thiouracil; ammonium chloride.
