Data on genetic ontology of the genes (proteins) investigated in this study_
| Symbol | Name | Location | Tissue/Expression | Homologs | Function | Pathology of Diseases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FTO | FTO α-ketoglutarate- dependent dioxygenase | 16q12.2 | brain, adrenal glands and 25 other tissues | chimpanzee; rhesus monkey; dog; cow; mouse; rat; chicken; zebrafish; frog | (exact function of this gene is not known); reversing alkylated DNA and RNA damage by oxidative demethylation | strong association with BMI, obesity risk and T2DM |
| PPARG | peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ | 3p25.2 | biased expression in fat, urinary bladder, colon, stomach and nine other tissues | chimpanzee; rhesus monkey; dog; cow; mouse; rat; chicken; zebrafish | helps in regulating transcription of various genes; regulator of adipocyte differentiation | obsesity, DM, ather oscelrosis, cancer |
| ADRB3 | adrenergic receptor β 3 | 8p11.23 | ovary, urinary bladder, placenta and two other tissues | chimpanzee; rhesus monkey; dog; cow; mouse; rat; chicken; zebrafish; frog | mediate catecholamine-induced activations of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins; involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis | obesity and body weight-related disorders |
| FABP2 | fatty acid-binding protein 2 | 4q26 | small intestine, duodenum, colon | chimpanzee; rhesus monkey; dog; cow; mouse; rat; chicken; zebrafish; frog | fatty acid-binding protein, uptake, intracellar metabolism, transport of long-chain fatty acids; may act as a lipid sensor to maintain energy homeostasis | obesity, kidney diseases, metabolic disorder |
