Molecular cloning and characterization of the anti-obesity gene adipose in pig

Obesity has become an epidemic health problem,in which energy metabolic is disordered.Adipose tissue known as an important organ for energy homeostasis plays essential roles in the development of obesity.Many genes involved in the adipogenesis are also obesity-related factors.Adipose(Adp)has been identified as one of the anti-obesity genes,which could repress adipogenesis and fat accumulation.Adipose(Adp)protein forms a chromatin remodeling complex with histones
