    Linked via "brown adipose tissue"

    Uncoupling Proteins (UCPs)
    Uncoupling proteins ($\text{UCPs}$), notably UCP1, in brown adipose tissue function as proton "shunts" or controlled leak pathways, allowing protons/) to re-enter the matrix without passing through ATP synthase/). This process dissipates the energy gradient as heat, a phenomenon essential for [non-shivering thermogenesis](/e…
