GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 3932
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Ucp2
Name: uncoupling protein 2
Acc ID: CHEBI:47612
Term: bezafibrate
Definition: A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the amino group of 2-[4-(2-aminoethyl)phenoxy]-2-methylpropanoic acid. Benafibrate is used for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia.
Chemical ID: MESH:D001629
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
