Adiponectin is an adipocyte-specific protein with potential roles in glucose and lipid homeostasis. It is a member of the TNF superfamily. Adiponectin is induced during adipocyte differentiation and its secretion is stimulated by ...

Adiponectin, also known as Acrp30, apM1, AdipoQ, and GBP28, is a 30 kDa glycoprotein that is secreted primarily by adipocytes and induces wide ranging paracrine and endocrine effects on metabolism and inflammation. Mature human adiponectin consists of a 60 amino acid N-terminal collagenous region and a 137 amino acid C-terminal C1q/TNF-α-like globular domain and shares approximately 85% ...

Adiponectin is a protein of 30kDa which exists in several multimeric forms. About 0,01% of the proteins in human serum are adiponectin. The ADIPOQ-Gen is the gene mostly expressed by adipocytes. In spite of that the serum adiponectin concentration is negatively correlated with body fat mass. The protein consists of 244 amino acids and has a globulary domain which shows similarity to TNF alpha. ...
