title: Expression of S14-mRNA and its translational product in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells.
abstract: During adipogenic conversion of 3T3-L1 cells S14-mRNA increased from undetectable levels in preadipocytes to high levels in differentiated adipocytes (adipocyte-like cells). In vitro translation of hybrid-selected S14-mRNA revealed an identical protein in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in rat liver with regard to migration properties in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. No translation product was found in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In conclusion, protein-S14 is very similar or even identical in rat lipogenic tissues and in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Therefore, this cell line can be employed to elucidate further physiological aspects of protein-S14.
