What is the function of fat cell?

A fat cells primary function is to store fat, quite simply. But recent discoveries show that the fat cell also produce the hormone leptin which decreases appetite. This means that fat cells play a role in food intake as a homeostatic mechanism. Also brown fat cells, which are present in babies and antarctic sea creatures, have an interesting function. The mitochondria in them are slightly modified not to have a specific protein that makes ATP from ADP and Pi using energy from H ions moving through the membrane. Instead these H ions move t via another protein which instead of ATP produces heat directly. And thus brown fat actually produced heat, is not just an insulator.
