Adipose differentiation-related protein, also known as ADFP or adipophilin, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ADFP gene.[1]

Function

Adipocyte differentiation-related protein is associated with the globule surface membrane material. This protein is a major constituent of the globule surface. Increase in mRNA levels is one of the earliest indications of adipocyte differentiation[1]
