Mouse Gene Set: MP_ABNORMAL_BROWN_FAT_CELL_MORPHOLOGY


Standard name MP_ABNORMAL_BROWN_FAT_CELL_MORPHOLOGY
Systematic name MM24759
Brief description any structural anomaly of cells from the thermogenic form of adipose tissue found in newborns of many species, including humans, and in hibernating mammals; brown fat is capable of rapid liberation of energy and seems to be important in the maintenance of body temperature immediately after birth and upon waking from hibernation; brown adipocytes contain multiple small droplets of triglycerides and a high number of mitochondria
