UCP3S, this variant (short) lacks 37 amino acids at its C terminus

compared to UCP3L (long). UCP3S is generated when a cleavage and

polyadenylation signal located in the last intron of the

gene prematurely terminates message elongation. Compared to UCP3L,

UCP3S lacks the putative transmembrane domain VI and a putative

purine nucleotide-binding domain.
