General description

FCCP is a protonophore (H+ ionophore) and uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. It is capable of depolarizing plasma and mitochondrial membranes. FCCP has been shown to have several effects on cellular calcium. It is also reported to inhibit a background K+ current and induce a small inward current, reduce pH by 0.1 unit, and induce a rise of intracellular [Na+]. FCCP stimulates Mg2+-ATPase activity, inhibits β-amyloid production, and mimics the effect of selective glutamate agonist N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on mitochondrial superoxide production.

Application

Carbonylcyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP) has been used as an uncouplerin cell culture: to study its effects on murine thermogenic adipocytes, tostudy its effects on β-oxidation in mouse mitochondria, to study its effects on the metabolism in bone marrow-derived dendriticcells from mouse

The Parkinson's disease (PD)-related ubiquitin ligase Parkin and mitochondrial kinase PINK1 function together in the clearance of damaged mitochondria. Upon mitochondrial depolarization, Parkin translocates to mitochondria in a PINK1-dependent manner to ubiquitinate outer mitochondrial membrane proteins. According to the current
