Fibronectin type 3 domain-containing protein 3B (factor for adipocyte differentiation 104, HCV NS5A-binding protein 37, FNDC3B, FAD104, NS5ABP37, UNQ2421/PRO4979/PRO34274)

Function

may be a positive regulator of adipogenesis

Structure

contains 9 fibronectin F3 modules

Compartment

membrane

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=3

Expression

• predominantly expressed in white adipose tissue, especially in the stromal vascular cells

expressed in adipocyte differentiable 3T3-L1 cells but not in non-adipogenic cell line NIH-3T3

expression increased in the early stage of adipogenesis
