abstract：:A novel gene named fad104 (factor for adipocyte differentiation-104), whose expression level quickly increased in the early stage of adipogenesis, was isolated and characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence of fad104 revealed the possible presence of a fibronectin type III domain and transmembrane domain. The expr...
