Research Abstract |
We originally isolated BMP-3b,which inhibited osteogenesis, from bone tissue. BMP-3b is strongly expressed not only in the bone but also in adipose tissue. However, the function of BMP-3b in adipose tissue is still unknown. Recent studies show that adipocytokine, which exists in adipose tissue, is involved in metabolic syndrome or its related diseases. We performed functional analysis of BMP-3b in adipose tissue, which demonstrated that BMP-3b acts as a novel adipocytokine that inhibits adipogenesis and its secreted molecular form is a unique complex.
