ANTI-ACRP30

Rabbit Anti-Adiponectin antibody has been used for immunohistochemical and western blot applications.

Adiponectin is secreted from adipose tissue for the regulation of glucose and fatty acid break down.

Adipose tissue has important roles in energy storage, glucose homeostasis and fat metabolism.(10) Increased adiponectin levels are associated with type I diabetes mellitus, anorexia nervosa, weight reduction, and chronic renal failure. Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) affects lipid catabolism by increasing fatty acid oxidation in muscle, modulates glucose uptake, alters liver gluconeogenesis and enhances insulin-sensitivity in both muscle and liver. ADIPOQ has anti-atherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory properties. ADIPOQ has a role in physiological processes such as energy homeostasis and obesity. Low levels of adiponectin are also linked with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Mutation in the gene encoding it is linked with risk for endometrial cancer.
