Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Favine/CCDC3 is a secretory factor, which we identified in 2010. Favine is highly expressed in the aorta and adipose tissue. The Favine mRNA levels are increased in the adipose tissue of obese and diabetic mice than in lean mice. However, its biological function has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we showed that Favine has adipogenic and lipogenic effects. Further investigation on the function of Favine will provide valuable information for revealing underlying mechanisms of metabolic syndrome.
