Enables oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler activity. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process and response to superoxide. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in adipose tissue; heart; and skeletal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary restenosis; diabetic neuropathy; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and obesity. Orthologous to human UCP3 (uncoupling protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
