Abstract excerpt
Preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref-1), an epidermal growth factor repeat containing transmembrane protein found in the preadipocytes, inhibits adipocyte differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Here, we examined the processing of membrane form of Pref-1A to release the 50-kDa soluble form that inhibits adipocyte differentiation. The ectodomain cleavage of Pref-1 is markedly enhanced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in a...
