Differential Nucleotide Inhibition Profile of Mouse and Human UCP1 Expressed in Liver Mitochondria Is Associated with an F88S Mutation
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) mediates thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Whether human-UCP1 shares the bioenergetic properties established for rodent UCP1 (innate uncoupling, GDP sensitivity, fatty acid (re)activation) is not known. Therefore, we expressed human and mouse UCP1 in mouse liver, using adeno-associated viral vectors, and characterized their properties in isolated liver…
