We have used a mRNA differential display technique to identify new genes involved in the
reprogramming of gene expression during the adipose conversion of mouse 3T3
preadipocyte cell lines. We report here on the identification and cloning of a novel adipose-
specific cDNA encoding a predicted membrane protein of 413 amino acids. The level of the
corresponding 3.2-kilobase mRNA is tremendously increased during 3T3-L1 and 3T3-
F442A differentiation into adipocytes. A single, very abundant 3.2-kilobase transcript is also …
