Human pancreatic thread protein, an exocrine thread protein with possible implications to Alzheimer's disease: secondary structure in solution at acid pH.

abstract：:Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial membrane proton transporters that uncouple oxidative phosphorylation by dissipating the proton gradient across the membrane. We have investigated regulation of the UCP3 gene in skeletal muscle and C2C12 muscle cells. UCP3 mRNA in mouse skeletal muscle is markedly increased ...
