ACRBP
Description
ACRP30, also known as adiponectin, is a protein hormone primarily secreted by adipose tissue. It plays a crucial role in regulating glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation, making it a key player in metabolic health. Adiponectin exerts its effects by binding to specific receptors on target cells, triggering downstream signaling pathways that influence various cellular processes.
