“…Except for well-known adipocyte secreted proteins, such as complement C3, adiponectin, adipsin, osteonectin, several collagens, matrix metalloproteinase-2, metalloproteinase inhibitor 2, haptoglobin, and a housekeeping protein beta-2 microglobulin [40], our identification method confirmed five other secreted proteins that have been reported in only a very limited number of studies, such as MIF [41], protein-lysine 6-oxidase [42], extracellular superoxide dismutase [43], gelsolin, and PEDF [8]. Furthermore, five proteins were newly identified as adipocyte secreted factors that have previously been reported as being secreted by other cell systems: procollagen C-proteinase enhancer protein [44], galectin-1, cyclophilin A and C, and SF20/IL-25.…”
