In Brown Adipose Tissue, Hydrogen Ion (Proton) movement can be uncoupled from the production of ATP. So, instead of using the high energy of the electro-chemical gradient to produce work (by making ATP), the energy is released as heat.
-In this video, the uncoupling protein known as Thermogenin is looked at very quickly and the biochemistry of it's control is investigated.
- This video also explores other irregularities in the Electron Transport Chain that uncouple electron flow from ATP-Synthesis, such as respiratory poisons.
