Abstract excerpt
TGF-beta inhibits adipocyte differentiation, yet is expressed by adipocytes. The function of TGF-beta in adipogenesis, and its mechanism of action, is unknown. To address the role of TGF-beta signaling in adipocyte differentiation, we characterized the expression of the TGF-beta receptors, and the Smads which transmit or inhibit TGF-beta signals, during adipogenesis in 3T3-F442A cells. We found that the...
