Function
Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity probably requires the presence of KLB. Regulates systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Most abundantly expressed in the liver, also expressed in the thymus at lower levels. Expressed in skeletal muscle (at protein level). Secreted in plasma (at protein level)
