Natural Mutation in Naked Mole-Rat UCP1 Refutes Importance of the Histidine Pair Motif for Proton Conductance and Thermogenesis
{{output}}
Aim: Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the crucial protein for non-shivering thermogenesis in placental mammals, but the molecular mechanism of thermogenic proton transport is still unknown. Its histidine pair motif (H145 and H147) ... ...
