Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermogenin, also known as Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1), is found exclusively in brown adipose tissue and plays a key role in regulating thermogenesis by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. Troponin is a protein involved in muscle contraction, ATPase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to release energy, and RNAase is an enzyme that degrades RNA. None of these are found in brown fat.
