Fatty acid binding protein 4 expression marks a population of adipocyte progenitors in white and brown adipose tissues
9 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Adipose tissues regulate metabolism, reproduction, and life span. The development and growth of adipose tissue are due to increases of both adipocyte cell size and cell number; the latter is mediated by adipocyte progenitors. Various markers have been used to identify either adipocyte progenitors or mature adipocytes. The fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), commonly known as adipocyte protein 2 (aP2), has been...
