Function
Receptor for ADIPOQ, an essential hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Required for normal glucose and fat homeostasis and for maintaining a normal body weight. ADIPOQ-binding activates a signaling cascade that leads to increased AMPK activity, and ultimately to increased fatty acid oxidation, increased glucose uptake and decreased gluconeogenesis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in brain and quadriceps muscle (at protein level). Widely expressed. Expressed in heart, kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, aorta and spleen. Weakly expressed in brain and testis
