Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive K <sup>+</sup> Channels (MitoK <sub>ATP</sub> ) Regulate Brown Adipocyte Differentiation and Metabolism
2025-01-24
Abstract excerpt
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a central role in mammalian non-shivering thermogenesis, dissipating mitochondrial membrane potentials through the activity of uncoupling protein UCP1 to release heat. Inner membranes of mitochondria are known to be permeable to potassium ions (K + ), which enter the matrix either through ATP-sensitive channels (MitoKATP) or leakage across the bilayer driven by inner membrane pote...
