Uncoupling proteins (UCP): UCPs occur in the inner mito- chondrial membrane of mammals, including humans. These car- rier proteins create a “proton leak,” that is, they allow protons to re-enter the mitochondrial matrix without energy being captured as ATP (Figure 6.14). The energy is released as heat, and the process is called nonshivering thermogenesis
