Nexelis - Adiponectin HMW (High Molecular Weight) - Brochure

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% sequence identity with mouse and rat adiponectin.
