The developmental origins of brown adipose tissue and white adipose tissue are distinct,
with brown adipocytes being derived from muscle precursors. PR domain containing 16,
together with C/EBPβ, forms a lineage-switching transcriptional complex which promotes
brown fat differentiation and suppresses muscle cell differentiation.
