Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin, also known as ADIPOQ, is a hormone protein secreted by adipocytes. The ADIPOQ gene is expressed primarily in adipose tissue, and the encoded protein circulates in the bloodstream and has the potential to regulate both animal fat metabolism and hormone production. Our previous work uncovered a 67-bp variable duplication in the promoter region of ADIPOQ, which reduced the basal transcriptional activity...
