Tissue specificity:Expressed at high levels in white and brown adipose tissue, and to a lesser degree in testis and cardiac muscle. Barely detected in liver, spleen, thymus, kidney, skeletal muscle, and brain. Among the white adipose depots, gonadal fat showed the highest level of expression compared with inguinal and renal white adipose tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15550674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16150821, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16705060}.
Induction:Transiently induced during fasting. cAMP and glucagon may not be involved in the induction during fasting. Induced by dexamethasone. Down-regulated by insulin, isoprotenerol and TNF-alfa. Expression is not affected by glucose and by growth hormone. Expression is reduced in fasted leptin deficient mouse (ob/ob), an obese mouse model. Expression is not affected in fed ob/ob mouse. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16009485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16150821, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16380488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16705060}.
Developmental stage:Increased expression when preadipocytes are induced to differentiate to adipocytes. Not detected in proliferating or confluent preadipocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15550674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16150821, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16705060}.
