EHMT1 controls brown adipose cell fate and thermogenesis through the PRDM16 complex
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates chemical energy in the form of heat as a defense against hypothermia and obesity. Current evidence indicates that brown adipocytes arise from Myf5+ dermotomal precursors through the action of PRDM16 (PR domain containing protein16) transcriptional complex 1,2. H...
