The adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) was first characterized as a mRNA
induced early during adipocyte differentiation (Jiang, HP, and G. Serrero. 1992. Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA. 89: 7856-7860). The present study demonstrates that ADRP mRNA is
expressed in a variety of tissues and cultured cell lines. Immunocytochemical examination
revealed that ADRP localizes to neutral lipid storage droplets in cultured murine 3T3-L1
adipocytes, murine MA-10 Leydig cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblasts, and …
