Adiponectin Receptor Fragmentation in Mouse Models of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
2019-11-20
Abstract excerpt
The protein hormone adiponectin regulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism by binding to two PAQR-family receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2). Both receptors feature a C-terminal segment which is released by proteolysis to form a freely-circulating C-terminal fragment (CTF) found in the plasma of normal individuals but not in some undefined diabetes patients. The AdipoR1-CTF 344-376 is a competitive inhibitor of tumo...
