– paternally inherited genetic defects of DLK1 were identified in four families with nonsyndromic CPP and a metabolic phenotype. DLK1 encodes a transmembrane protein that is important for adipose tissue homeostasis and neurogenesis and is located in the imprinted chromosome 14q32 region associated with Temple syndrome. DLK1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (aa 24-303, His) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 30.9 kDa and the accession number is P80370-1.
