SYK kinase mediates brown fat differentiation and activation
Spleen protein tyrosine kinase (Syk) has so far been mainly studied in haematopoietic and immune cells. Here, the authors show that Syk also has a role in brown adipose tissue, where it regulates the formation of brown adipocytes and their thermogenic activation in response to β-adrenergic stimulati...
