function:Receptor for globular and full-length adiponectin (APM1), an essential hormone secreted by adipocytes that acts as an antidiabetic. Probably involved in metabolic pathways that regulate lipid metabolism such as fatty acid oxidation. Mediates increased AMPK, PPARA ligand activity, fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by adiponectin. Has some intermediate-affinity receptor activity for both globular and full-length adiponectin.,online information:Adiponectin entry,similarity:Belongs to the ADIPOR family.,subcellular location:Localized to the cell membrane and intracellular organelles.,subunit:May form homo and heteromultimers.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, liver and placenta. Weakly expressed in brain, heart, colon, spleen, kidney, thymus, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes and lung.,
Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Localized to the cell membrane and intracellular organelles. .
Ubiquitous (PubMed:16044242). Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, liver and placenta (PubMed:12802337). Weakly expressed in brain, heart, colon, spleen, kidney, thymus, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes and lung (PubMed:12802337).
