Unveiling the Role of the Proton Gateway, Uncoupling Proteins (UCPs), in Cancer Cachexia

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are identified as carriers of proton ions between the mitochondrial inner membrane and the mitochondrial matrix. ATP is mainly generated through oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. The proton gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane and the mito...
