Research Abstract |
Suppression of mafA mRNA with siRNA prevents adipose cell differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells, which suggests a possible role of the transcription factor mafA in regulation of adipocyte function and differentiation. MafA is a key molecule in glucose and energy balance in the central nervous system and peripheral organs, and mafA is likely involved in the regulation of hormonal systems related to glucose metabolism.
