Rabbit anti-Mouse Adiponectin Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q60994

Target Species

Mouse

Target Name

ADIPOQ

Target Full Name

Adiponectin

Target Function

Important adipokine involved in the control of fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity, with direct anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. Stimulates AMPK phosphorylation and activation in the liver and the skeletal muscle, enhancing glucose utilization and fatty-acid combustion. Antagonizes TNF-alpha by negatively regulating its expression in various tissues such as liver and macrophages, and also by counteracting its effects. Inhibits endothelial NF-kappa-B signaling through a cAMP-dependent pathway. May play a role in cell growth, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various growth factors with distinct binding affinities, depending on the type of complex, LMW, MMW or HMW.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Tissue Specificity

Synthesized exclusively by adipocytes and secreted into plasma.

Target Synonyms

Ad; APN; Acdc; Adid; apM1; 30kDa; GBP28; adipo; Acrp30; Adiponectin

Target Background

Enables hormone activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of oxidative stress; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; and positive regulation of glucose import. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; axial musculature; gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and serum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; primary open angle glaucoma; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ADIPOQ (adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing).
