Rat gAcrp30 (amp-1) is a 16.6 kDa protein that corresponds to the C-terminal globular domain of adiponectin (amp-1). gAcrp30/Adipolean is expressed and secreted exclusively by adipose tissue. This protein possesses unique pharmacological properties for regulation of body weight and lipid metabolism. It is a key component in controlling energy homeostasis. Recently, gAcrp30/Adipolean has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of myelomonocytic progenitors.
This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
Adiponectin (AdipoQ),an adipocyte-derived hormone,is one of the most abundant adipokines in the blood circulation. Adiponectin modulates a number of metabolic processes,including improving insulin sensitivity and anti-inflammatory activity. The role of AdipoQ in reproduction is not yet fully understood,but the expression of AdipoQ in reproductive tissues has been observed in various animals and humans,including chicken testis,bovine ovary,and human placenta. Adiponectin exerts its effects by activating a range of different signaling molecules via binding to two transmembrane AdipoQ receptors,AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. AdipoR1 is expressed primarily in the skeletal muscle,whereas AdipoR2 is predominantly expressed in the liver. AdipoQ May play a role in cell growth,angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various growth factors.
