ADIPOQ-AS1
AdipoQ-AS1: An Essential Regulator in Metabolism and Disease
Description
AdipoQ-AS1 (adiponectin antisense RNA 1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and disease. It is primarily expressed in adipose tissue and exhibits a unique antisense orientation to the adiponectin gene.
Associated Diseases
AdipoQ-AS1 dysregulation has been implicated in various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, including:
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that high levels of AdipoQ-AS1 are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. For every 1-unit increase in AdipoQ-AS1 expression, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases by 16%.
