Neuronatin (NNAT) is a transmembrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum involved in metabolic regulation. It shares sequence homology with sarcolipin (SLN), which negatively regulates the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca²⁺‐ATPase (SERCA) that maintains energy homeostasis in muscles. Here, we examined whether NNAT could uncouple the Ca²⁺ transport activity of SERCA from ATP hydrolysis, similarly to SLN. NNAT significantly reduced Ca²⁺ uptake without altering SERCA activity, ultimately lowering the apparent coupling ratio of SERCA. This effect of NNAT was reversed by the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin. Furthermore, soleus muscles from high fat diet (HFD)‐fed mice showed a significant downregulation in NNAT content compared with chow‐fed mice, whereas an upregulation in NNAT content was observed in fast‐twitch muscles from HFD‐ versus chow‐ fed mice. Therefore, NNAT is a SERCA uncoupler in cells and may function in adaptive thermogenesis.
