Recombinant Mouse Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (Ucp3), partial

1. Our findings, focusing on energy balance, provide a mechanistic understanding of the promising effect of early insulin initiation on lipotoxicity. Insulin, by recovering UCP3 activity, alleviated energy surfeit and potentiated AMPK-mediated lipid homeostasis in skeletal muscle cells following exposure to PA and in gastrocnemius of mice fed HFD. PMID: 29039450
2. Findings indicate that while heat-induced reduction in uncoupling proteins-3 improves mitochondrial efficiency in vitro, this is not translated to in vivo improvement of exercise economy at 1600 m or 4350 m. PMID: 28174343
3. UCP3 can be fully inhibited by all adenine nucleotides tested and IC50 increases with a decrease in PN-phosphorylation. Conserved arginines in the PN-binding pocket are involved in the inhibition of UCP1 and UCP3 to different extents. Fatty acids compete only with ATP bound to UCP3. UCP3 has adapted to fulfill a different role and possibly another transport function in brown adipose tissue, vs highly homologous UCP1. PMID: 29212043
