1 Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), by virtue of its mitochondrial proton leak activity and consequent negative effect on ATP production, impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Adenosine Triphosphate uncoupling protein 2 Homo sapiens
2 Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), by virtue of its mitochondrial proton leak activity and consequent negative effect on ATP production, impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Adenosine Triphosphate uncoupling protein 2 Homo sapiens
3 This study demonstrates that endogenously produced mitochondrial superoxide activates UCP2-mediated proton leak, thus lowering ATP levels and impairing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Adenosine Triphosphate uncoupling protein 2 Homo sapiens
