The role of C/EBPbeta in regulating UCP1 expressions in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) by dissipating proton-motive force to stimulate maximum mitochondrial respiration. cAMP-dependent protein kinase induction of UCP1, as well as the PPAR coactivator1α (PGC1α), is a typical character...
