Anti-Adiponectin/ADIPOQ Antibody Picoband®

Adiponectin, also known as APM1 or ACDC, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ADIPOQ gene. It is mapped to chromosome 16 in a region showing homology of synteny with human 3q27. By RNase protection and Western blot analysis, it has been showed that Adiponectin is expressed by differentiated adipocytes as a 33-kD protein that is also detectable in serum. By sequence comparisons, it has been found that links between APM1 and TNF family ligands as well as to cytokines expressed by T cells. Adiponectin is a protein hormone that modulates a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and fatty acid oxidation. This gene is exclusively secreted from adipose tissue (and also from the placenta in pregnancy) into the bloodstream and is very abundant in plasma relative to many hormones.

E.coli-derived rat Adiponectin recombinant protein (Position: I19-N244) . Rat Adiponectin shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse Adiponectin.
