Annotation rationales
This identity denotes mature adipocytes with lipid-droplet, fatty-acid-handling and adipokine programs.
Functional implications
These cells store excess energy as triglyceride, mobilize fatty acids when needed and communicate nutritional state to other organs through endocrine signals.
