Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of ADIPOR1 in rat serum, plasma.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein which acts as a receptor for adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes which regulates fatty acid catabolism and glucose levels. Binding of adiponectin to the encoded protein results in activation of an AMP-activated kinase signaling pathway which affects levels of fatty acid oxidation and insulin sensitivity. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
