Conditional gene targeting using UCP1-Cre mice directly targets the central nervous system beyond thermogenic adipose tissues
26 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a mitochondrial protein critical for adaptive thermogenesis in adipose tissues, and it is typically believed to be restricted to thermogenic adipose tissues. UCP1-Cre transgenic mice are utilized in numerous studies to provide "brown adipose-specific" conditional gene targeting. Here, we examined the distribution of Cre and UCP1 throughout the body in UCP1-Cre reporter...
