  • CMKLR regulation of adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolic function
    Publication number: 20070286863
    Abstract: Methods are provided for regulating adipogenesis and metabolic function in adipocytes by modulating the activity of chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1). Exemplary agents include those that modulate binding of CMKLR1 to a cognate ligand (e.g., chemerin), those that modulate signaling from CMKLR1, and those that modulate expression of either CMKLR1 or its cognate ligand in target cells. Methods are also provided for screening for agents that find use in regulating fat accumulation in a subject.
