This Adiponectin Receptor 1 antibody is un-conjugated
Application
Western Blotting (WB)
Purification
This antibody was prepared from the serum of a rabbit immunized with a partial peptide representing the N-terminal domain of Human AdipoR1, and purified bypeptide affinity chromatography.
Obesity is a common etiology of diabetes mellitus and other diseases. Certain adipocytokines areconsidered beneficial due to their ability to enhance insulin sensitivity, while others, considereddetrimental, enhance insulin resistance.The beneficial adipocytokine adiponectin displays both anti-diabetic and anti-arteriosclerotic effects. Two distinct adiponectin receptors have been identified. Both AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 are seven-passtransmembrane receptors but are structurally, topologically, and functionally distinct from G-proteincoupled receptors (GPCR) (Ref.1). AdipoR1 is most abundant in muscle whereas AdipoR2 is mostabundant in liver. Both receptors promote fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by AMP-activatedprotein kinase and PPAR gamma.PPAR agonists are reported to increase expression of activated adiponectin. PPAR gamma agonists also increase expression of adiponectin receptors (Ref.2). Such findings have focused attention on the role of AdipoR1 in PPAR agonist development.
