temp = load('z1.mat');
fn = fieldnames(temp);
x1 = temp.(fn{1});
This will load the "first" variable stored in the .mat file into the variable "x1".

[filename, foldername] = uigetfile('*.mat', 'Select a mat file');
fullname = fullfile(foldername, filename);
temp = load(fullname);
fn = fieldnames(temp);
x1 = temp.(fn{1});

filename = uigetfile({'*.mat'}, 'Select mat file');
load(filename)
or
load('yourmatfile') ; % directly be in the folder and load the file.
doc load

If you know your file will be named data.mat, you don't need uigetfile, simply load will do that for you:
x1 = load('data.mat')
