Abstract

Brown adipocytes play important roles in the regulation of fat storage and body temperature, by virtue of their ability to uncouple mitochondrial fuel oxidation and ATP synthesis. The discovery of a tissue-specific transcriptional coactivator provides new insights into the regulation of thermogenesis by brown adipocytes.
