Adiponectin

Adiponectin is most well-known for its role in glucose metabolism and fatty acid breakdown. Adiponectin is secreted solely by adipose tissue, and a person with a higher percentage of body fat will express lower levels of Adiponectin. When higher levels of Adiponectin are present, a mouse will show a lack of adipocyte differentiation and a measurable increase in energy expenditure.

We at Novus Biologicals have an extensive antibody catalog covering lipid and metabolism research, including Adiponectin and leptin antibody products.

Adiponectin (also called AdipoQ and Acrp30) is a circulating cytokine primarily expressed in adipose tissue. A complex protein with a number of physiological roles, adiponectin antibody experiments have revealed multiple forms of the protein in circulation, including trimers, multioligomers and cleavage fragments. We at Novus Biologicals stock an extensive range of adiponectin antibodies, as well as recombinant proteins and ELISA adiponectin antibody kits.

Adiponectin (also called ADIPOQ) is a cytokine expressed exclusively in adipose tissue. It has a number of functions, regulating lipid metabolism, gluconeogenesis and the inflammatory response. Adiponectin antibody products are widely used in diabetes, obesity and lipid metabolism research. Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in women.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokine protein that positively regulates metabolism of lipids and glucose by suppressing glucose production from the liver, stimulating insulin sensitivity, and increasing the rate of fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake. Insulin resistance, obesity and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels) are all linked to Adiponectin deficiency. The Adiponectin antibody is also used in Type 2 Diabetes research.
