Adiponectin/Acrp30 (247 amino acids) is adipocyte complement-related protein of 30kDa and exclusively expressed in differentiated adipocytes. Adiponectin (Acrp30) is a member of the complement factor C1q family and consists of signal sequence, non-homologous sequence, collagen domain and globular domain (gAcrp30). Adiponectin (Acrp30) expression is reduced in a variety of obese and insulin-resistant states in human, monkeys and mice. Injection of Acrp30 (247 amino acids) or gAcrp30 (globular domain) lowers serum glucose and free fatty acid level in mice. The globular domain of adiponectin/acrp30 (amino acid residues, 111-247, gAcrp30) was overexpressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
