Research progress of periostin in metabolic diseases
Periostin is a member of the fasciclin family which can be expressed in multiple tissues and organs. Recent studies have shown that periostin is a critical regulator participating in the process of glucolipid disorder and obesity. In addition
periostin is a kind of secreted protein. A wider understanding of the functions and mechanism of periostin will provide a promising extracellular diagnosis biomarker and an excellent therapeutic target for a wide range of metabolic diseases.
