Abstract: Tests the hypothesis on the involvement of the S3-12 protein in adipocyte lipid storage. Supplementation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with fatty acids; Distribution of S3-12 by immunofluorescence microscopy; Formation of S3-12-doated droplets; Morphological events in the genesis and maturation of adipocyte lipid droplets.
