Biological Data
Biological description
FCCP is an protonophore which is widely used to investigate the role of mitochondria in cellular function.
FCCP is a potent uncoupler of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. FCCP disrupts ATP synthesis by transporting protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane, interfering with the proton gradient.
FCCP also induces apoptosis.
The uncoupling agent CCCP is also available.
