Despite the enormous interest in the roles of novel uncoupling proteins, there is still great uncertainty as to their mechanism and regulation. The regulation of the architypal uncoupling protein 1 from brown adipose tissue was elucidated more than 20 years ago. This review suggests that a number of the approaches and criteria developed for the study of UCP1 could with profit be applied to current investigations of the novel UCPs. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
