Description
85121-4-RR targets Adiponectin receptor in WB, IHC, IF-P, IP, ELISA applications and shows reactivity with human, mouse, rat samples.
Background Information
Adiponectin is a hormone secreted by adipocytes that acts as an antidiabetic and anti-atherogenic adipokine. Two receptors for adiponectin (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) have been identified. They mediate increased AMPK, MAPK, and PPARA ligand activity in response to adiponectin. AdipoR1 is abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle, whereas AdipoR2 is predominantly expressed in the liver (PMID: 12802337). The human ADIPOR2 gene maps to chromosome 12p13.31, and encodes a 386-amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 44 kDa. AdipoR2 may also exist as stable ~ 60 kDa dimers (PMID: 18842004). This antibody raised against 1-147aa of human AdipoR2 may cross-react with AdipoR1.
