摘要
The discovery of a family of proteins with strong homology to the uncoupling protein of brown fat has generated great interest as these molecules might represent therapeutic targets for human obesity. Two recent studies have used genetics to explore the role of one of these proteins, UCP2, in the control of mammalian metabolism and come to rather different conclusions.
