Molecular evolution of UCP1 and the evolutionary history of mammalian non-shivering thermogenesis

BACKGROUND: Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a mitochondrial anion carrier, expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of Eutherians. UCP1 is responsible for uncoupling mitochondrial proton transport from the production of ATP, thereby dissipating heat; it is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis (NS...
