Adiponectin, C1Q and Collagen Domain Containing (ADIPOQ) (Globular Domain), (AA 104-244) protein (His tag)
Description
ACRP30 was identified as a novel adipocyte-specific synthesized and secreted protein with structural resemblance to complement factor C1q. Like adipsin, ACRP30 secretion is induced ~10-fold during adipocyte differentiation. Plasma levels are reduced in obese humans and low levels are associated with insulin-resistance. Treatment of db/db mice with TZD increased ACRP30 levels.
