The Mitochondrial Brown Adipose Tissue Maintenance Factor Nipsnap1 Interfaces Directly With the β-Oxidation Protein Machinery in Rodents
The activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is associated with improved metabolic health in humans. We previously identified the mitochondrial protein Nipsnap1 as a novel regulatory factor that integ...
