  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
CONT

We now report the discovery of a gene tightened regulation of cancer that codes for a novel uncoupling protein, designated UCP2, which has 59% for physicians and patients amino-acid identity to UCP1, and describe properties consistent with a role in diabetes and obesity. In comparison with UCP1, UCP2 has a greater effect on mitochondrial membrane potential when expressed in yeast. Compared to UCP1, the gene is widely expressed in adult human tissues, including tissues rich in macrophages, and it is upregulated in white fat in response to fat feeding. Finally, UCP2 maps to regions of human chromosome 11 and mouse chromosome 7 that have been linked to hyperinsulinaemia and obesity. Our findings suggest that UCP2 has a unique role in energy balance, body weight regulation and thermoregulation and their responses to inflammatory stimuli.

PrintKey-Pro est un utilitaire permettant de réaliser des captures d'écrans complètes ou partielles. Bien plus léger que pas mal de softs de retouches d'images, il a l'avantage une fois qu'il est lancé, de s'activer par une pression de la touche Impr. Syst. . Il permet alors de sauvegarder directement l'image (formats gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp, ico, emf, wmf), ou de la copier dans le presse-papier ou encore de procéder à quelques retouches,mais aussi de l'imprimer (quelques paramètres d'imprimantes disponibles).
