Proteomic profiling reveals several metabolic proteins/enzymes regulated by UCP2. UCP2 induces hnRNPA2/B1 through its antioxidant function in pancreatic cancer cells. UCP2 stimulates the expression of GLUT1, PKM2 and the secretion of L-lactic acid. UCP2 counteracts pancreatic cancer mitochondrial respiration and OXPHOS. UCP2 sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose.
