Abstract
A specific antiserum was raised against the 32,000-MW uncoupling protein from the mitochondria of rat brown adipose tissue and a sensitive radioimmunoassay for the protein was developed. The uncoupling protein is present in large amounts in brown adipose tissue; its concentration is increased substantially by cold acclimation. The protein was not detected in the liver, heart, or parametrial white adipose tissue of rats.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
