Differentiation of white and brown adipocyte (WP2895)

Homo sapiens

Development of white versus brown adipocytes (figure from Handbook of Obesity). Transcription factors and nuclear regulators controlling the development of white versus brown adipocytes are shown in the pathway. At the bottom a selection of identified markers of white and brown adipocytes were added (from Nascimento et al).
