2.A.29.24.3
solute carrier family 25, member 27; UCP4.  Transports protons and chloride ions; activated by fatty acids and inhibited by purine nucleotides similarly to UCP1-3 (Hoang et al. 2012).  H+ transport may be activated while Cl- transport may be inhibited by fatty acids (Hoang et al. 2015). MFN2 deficiency affects calcium homeostasis in lung adenocarcinoma cells via downregulation of UCP4 (Zhang et al. 2023).
