Brown fat UCP1 is specifically expressed in uterine longitudinal smooth muscle cells.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 14 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt

Until now, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) was considered as unique to brown adipocytes. It supports a highly regulated uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation that is associated with diet as well as with non-shivering thermogenesis. Here we report that UCP1 is not specific to brown adipocytes and can be expressed in longitudinal smooth muscle layers. In the uterus, this conclusion was drawn from different convergent...
