| molecularNote | Incorporation of a toxic transgene, diphtheria toxin-A-chain (Dta), coupled to regulatory elements of the gene for brown adipose tissue specific uncoupling protein (Ucp) resulted in the ablation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). Specifically, Dta was inserted into the first exon of Ucp1 at position +120 to create the vector. |
