INTRODUCTION
Adiponectin, also referred to as Acrp30, AdipoQ and GBP-28, is a recently discovered 244 amino acid protein, the product of the apM1 gene, which is physiologically active and specifically and highly expressed in adipose cells (Adipokine). The protein belongs to the soluble defense collagen super family; it has a collagen-like domain structurally homologous with collagen VIII and X and complement factor C1q-like globular domain. APM-1 forms homotrimers, which are the building blocks for higher order complexes found circulating in serum.
DESCRIPTION
ACRP30 Rat Recombinant produced in 293 cell line is a polypeptide chain containing 238 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 25.7 kDa. ACRP30 contains a C-Terminal linker (3 AA residue) and a C-Terminal Flag- tag (8 AA residue).
