Abstract excerpt
Adipocyte differentiation is known to be regulated by a complex array of genes known as master regulators. Using a subtraction method, we previously isolated 102 genes that are expressed in the early stage of adipocyte differentiation. One of these genes named fad158 (factor for adipocyte differentiation 158) seems to be a novel gene, since there is no significantly similar gene listed in databases. Both mouse...
