Background: ADR2 functions as a receptor for globular and full-length adiponectin (APM1), which is an essential hormone secreted by adipocytes that acts as an antidiabetic. ADR2 is also probably involved in metabolic pathways that regulate lipid metabolism such as fatty acid oxidation. ADR2 mediates an increase in AMPK, PPARA ligand activity, fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by adiponectin and has some intermediate-affinity receptor activity for both globular and full-length adiponectin. ADR2 may form homo and heteromultimers.
Positive Control: Colon, Hippocampus, and Trachea.
Purification Method: Ammonium sulfate precipitation.
Source: Rabbits were immunized with a synthetic peptide near the C terminus of human adiponectin receptor 2 proteins.
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide.
