Abstract
The catabolic and energy-dissipating actions of mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) conflict with many of the bioenergetic hallmarks of malignancy. We have recently demonstrated that overexpression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3 (Ucp3) in the basal epidermis impedes skin tumorigenesis through a novel pathway of thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 (Akt1) inhibition via increased mitochondrial lipid catabolism.Entities:
