UCP-1 (Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1), is a mitochondrial transporter protein that creates proton leaks across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thus uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. It has been identified a key molecule for metabolic thermogenesis to avoid an excess of fat accumulation. UCP-1 expression is usually restricted to brown adipose when induced by cold exposure and thyroid hormone.
