adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing

Synonyms:

ACDC, ACRP30, ADIPQTL1, ADPN, APM-1, APM1, GBP28, adiponectin, 30 kDa adipocyte complement-related protein, adipocyte complement-related 30 kDa protein, adipose most abundant gene transcript 1 protein, adipose specific collagen-like factor, gelatin-binding protein 28

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 188043157-188058946

Description:

This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency.

View Full Description

This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
