Official Full Name: adiponectin receptor 1
Also known as: CGI45; PAQR1; ACDCR1; CGI-45; TESBP1A
This gene encodes a protein that acts as a receptor for adiponectin, a hormone secreted by fat cells that regulates fatty acid catabolism and glucose levels. Binding of adiponectin to the encoded protein activates the AMP-activated kinase signaling pathway, affecting fatty acid oxidation levels and insulin sensitivity. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 14. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
