What Does FCCP Stand For?
FCCP stands for Trifluoromethoxy Carbonylcyanide Phenylhydrazone
FCCP, or Trifluoromethoxy Carbonylcyanide Phenylhydrazone, is a chemical compound widely recognized for its role as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration. It is characterized by its ability to disrupt the proton gradient across mitochondrial membranes, thereby inhibiting ATP synthesis. FCCP is utilized in various research applications, particularly in studies related to bioenergetics, mitochondrial function, and metabolic regulation. Its unique trifluoromethoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, facilitating its penetration into biological membranes.
