Genomic characterization of the European sea bass <it>Dicentrarchus labrax</it> reveals the presence of a novel uncoupling protein (UCP) gene family member in the teleost fish lineage
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Uncoupling proteins (UCP) are evolutionary conserved mitochondrial carriers that control energy metabolism and therefore play important roles in several physiological processes such as thermogenesis, regulation of reactive oxygen spe...
