Uncoupler
Description
An uncoupler is a protonophore (FCCP, CCCP, DNP) which cycles across the inner mt-membrane with transport of protons and dissipation of the electrochemical proton gradient. Mild uncoupling may be induced at low uncoupler concentrations, the non-coupled state of ETS capacity is obtained at optimum uncoupler concentration for maximum flux, whereas at higher concentrations an uncoupler-induced inhibition is observed. See also: Uncoupled respiration.
