The uncoupling protein (UCP) gene encodes a unique mammalian mitochondria1 proton carrier that induces heat production in brown adipocytes. Human UCP gene was isolated and its organization analyzed. A comparison was made with rat UCP gene. Human UCP gene spans 13 Kb and contains a transcribed region
