Th inventions of this application include thermogenic genes named SfUCPa and
SfUCPb
which are derived from skunk cabbage. cDNA of each gene comprises the base sequence
of SEQ ID NO: 1 and 3, respectively. Thermogenic proteins, SfUCPA and SfUCPB, are
expressed from genes SfUCPa and SfUCPb, comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ
ID NO: 2 and 4.
