S-100 protein in adipose tissue.

K Kato, F Suzuki, T Nakajima

    The International Journal of Biochemistry
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nervous system-specific S-100 protein is found in high amounts in adipose tissue across species. Rat adipose S-100 protein levels mirror brain development, suggesting a potential link.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Neuroscience
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • The S-100 protein family, known for its nervous system specificity, has an undetermined role in non-neuronal tissues.
    • Previous research has primarily focused on S-100 protein expression within the central nervous system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and levels of S-100 protein in adipose tissues from various animal species.
    • To compare S-100 protein concentrations in adipose tissue with those found in brain tissue.
    • To examine the developmental expression pattern of S-100 protein in rat adipose tissue.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative analysis of S-100 protein levels using established biochemical assays.
    • Comparative analysis of S-100 protein concentrations across different species' adipose and brain tissues.
    • Developmental profiling of S-100 protein in rat adipose tissue.

    Main Results:

    • High levels of S-100 protein were detected in the adipose tissues of beef and rats, comparable to brain concentrations.
    • Significant S-100 protein was also found in rabbit, pig, and human adipose tissues, albeit at lower levels than in beef and rat.
    • The developmental expression pattern of S-100 protein in rat adipose tissue closely resembled that observed in the rat brain.

    Conclusions:

    • Adipose tissue is a significant reservoir for nervous system-specific S-100 protein in multiple mammalian species.
    • The comparable levels and similar developmental profiles suggest a potential functional role for S-100 protein in adipose tissue, possibly linked to neural regulation or development.
