Protein
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein Bmcp
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Regulates metabolic homeostasis in response to nutritional cues and may therefore be involved in adaptation to dietary variations. May not function in creating mitochondrial proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane (i.e. mitochondrial uncoupling).
Similarity
Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family.
