Our data suggest that ITIH5 potently regulates adipose tissue development and homeostasis by modulating ASC biology in mice. In addition, the effect of the rITIH5 protein underscores its potential as a therapeutic agent to correct the adipose tissue dysregulation often associated with obesity and metabolic disorders.
