| Adipose cells produce and secrete numerous physiologically important proteins, such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL), leptin, and Adipocyte complement related protein of 30kD (Acrp 30). Acrp30 is a circulating protein that is secreted exclusively by differentiated adipocytes. During adipocyte differentiation, mRNA levels of Acrp 30 have been shown to be induced over 100-fold. Studies indicate that Acrp30 enhances the ability of sub-physiological levels of insulin to suppress glucose production, thus linking adipose tissue to whole body glucose regulation. Acrp30 function appears to be regulated by phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3-K) since Acrp30 secretion is blocked by pharmacologic inhibitors of this kinase. mRNA levels of Acrp30 have been shown to be significantly reduced in adipose tissue of obese patients with Type 2 diabetes relative to control subjects. Structural similarities to TNF-alpha suggests that Acrp30 may play a role in pathogenesis of insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes. Because Acrp30 is down-regulated in various forms of obesity and its structural similarity to TNF-alpha, it is currently being investigated as an important regulator of whole body energy homeostasis. | | | Catalog # | A0725-15A | | Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
