Background: VSTM2A

V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 2A (VSTM2A) is a secreted glycoprotein that is expressed by committed preadipocytes. N-linked glycosylation is crucial for its secretion, but not for preadipocyte cell differentiation activity. It is expressed during adipocyte development and its over-expression promotes adipogenesis (1). VSTM2A is highly expressed in the brain and Vstm2a was identified as an enigmatic gene that is highly produced in mouse brain (1, 2). A positive association has been observed between Vstm2a and Pparg2. VSTM2A plays a role in the regulation of the early stage of white and brown preadipocyte cell differentiation. It promotes adipogenic commitment of preadipocytes by increasing gene expression of the transcription factor PPARG in a BMP4-dependent signaling pathway (1, 3). In humans, two isoforms (1 and 2) exist due to alternative splicing. Human VSTM2A is synthesized either as a 236 amino acid (aa) (Isoform 1) or a 244 aa (Isoform 2) precursor that contains a 24 aa signal sequence followed by the VSTM2A domain. Human Isoform 2 VSTM2A shares 78% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat VSTM2A.
