Disease relevance of Ucp3

  • Ucp3 has been proposed to influence metabolic efficiency and is a candidate obesity gene [1].
  • Metabolic efficiency (gram weight gain/kcal ingested) was similar between Ucp3 overexpressors, WT and Ucp3 (-/-) mice [2].
  • UCP3Tg mice had lower body weights and were less metabolically efficient than wild-type or Ucp3-/- mice, but they were not hyperphagic [3].
  • Increased gene expression of brown fat uncoupling protein (UCP)1 and skeletal muscle UCP2 and UCP3 in MAC16-induced cancer cachexia [4].
  • SKM UCP3 mRNA rose fivefold during development of hypothermia and was correlated with an LPS-induced increase in plasma free fatty acid concentration [5].

Associations of Ucp3 with chemical compounds

  • Levels of muscle Ucp3 mRNA are increased by thyroid hormone and fasting [1].
  • In conjunction with our observed increases in CoA and carnitine in muscle of Ucp3 overexpressors, the findings support the hypothesized role for Ucp3 in facilitating fatty acid oxidation in muscle [2].
  • The murine UCP3 promoter is activated by fatty acids through either PPARalpha or PPARdelta but not by PPARgamma or retinoid X receptor alone [17].
  • We have hypothesized that increased glucose flux in skeletal muscles may lead to increased UCP3 expression [22].
  • UCP3 mRNA levels were also regulated by dexamethasone, leptin, and starvation, albeit differently in muscle and brown adipose tissue [23].
 

Regulatory relationships of Ucp3

  • These results suggest that in the adult rodent heart, UCP-3 expression is regulated by PPARalpha [24].
  • These findings indicate that overexpression of GLUT4 up-regulates UCP3 expression in skeletal muscle and down-regulates UCP1 expression in BAT, possibly by increasing the rate of glucose uptake into these tissues [22].
  • Neither UCP-2 nor UCP-3 was up-regulated by insulin in wild-type and IRS-1-deficient brown adipocytes [25].
