The MBD4 gene plays an important role in porcine adipocyte differentiation.
BACKGROUND MBD4 (methyl-CpG binding domain protein 4) is an important G: T glycosylase that can identify T-G mismatches. It plays a role in active demethylation through base excision repair. Overexpression of MBD4 gene can cause the demethylation of numerous genes, and the remethylation of MBD4-associated genes can occur when the MBD4 gene is knocked out. To date, the functions and regulatory m...
متن کاملRole of calpain in adipocyte differentiation.
Evidence is presented that the calcium-activated protease, calpain, is required for differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes induced by methylisobutylxanthine (a cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor), dexamethasone, and insulin. Calpain is expressed by preadipocytes and its level falls during differentiation. Exposure of preadipocytes to the calpain inhibitor N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleuc...
متن کاملYeast Pmp3p has an important role in plasma membrane organization.
Pmp3p-related proteins are highly conserved proteins that exist in bacteria, yeast, nematodes and plants, and its transcript is regulated in response to abiotic stresses, such as low temperature or high salinity. Pmp3p was originally identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and it belongs to the sensitive to Na(+) (SNA)-protein family, which comprises four members--Pmp3p/Sna1p, Sna2p, Sna3p and ...
متن کاملAdipocyte Differentiation
M.E. Symonds (ed.), Adipose Tissue Biology, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-0965-6_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Adipocyte differentiation is a highly controlled process that has been extensively studied for the last 25 years. Two different kinds of in vitro experimental models, essential in determining the mechanisms involved in adipocyte proliferation, differentiation and adi...
متن کاملPKC-ALDH2 Pathway Plays a Novel Role in Adipocyte Differentiation
The ALDH2 gene encodes the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a critical enzyme involved in ethanol clearance through acetaldehyde metabolism. ALDH2 also catalyzes the metabolism of other bioreactive aldehydes, including propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, and 4-hydroxykenals (4-HNE). Increased levels of 4-HNE in adipose tissue positively correlate with obesity and insulin resistance. ...
