Adipocyte precursor cells (APCs) reside, in part, in the adipose tissue vasculature as a subset of PDGFRb+ perivascular mesenchymal cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing as revealed the functional and molecular heterogeneity of these cells in anatomically distinct WAT depots.
The PreadProfiler is a comprehensive and integrated dataset developed by the Wu Lab and Gupta Lab that provides the transcriptomic and proteomic profile of murine PDGFRb+ adipose tissue progenitors at three levels:
15,477 transcripts quantified by RNA-seq
4,870 proteins quantified by DIA Mass Spectrometry
4,540 genes represented at both the protein and mRNA level
