<i>HOX</i> gene network is involved in the transcriptional regulation of in vivo human adipogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Adipogenesis is regulated by the sequential activation of a series of transcription factors: the C/EBP proteins of type beta and delta trigger the process while PPARgamma and C/EBPalpha induce the differentiation from pre-adipocyte to adipocyte, followed by adipo-specific gene expression. A number of observations suggest the involvement of genes controlling embryonal development in adipogenesis. In human thyroid...
