結構 編輯

脂聯素包含244個氨基酸,可分為4個結構域。從其N端起算,第一個是使其定位於細胞外的信號序列,第二個區域較短且在物種間高度變異,第三個65個氨基酸的區域與膠原蛋白相似,最後一個是脂聯素的球狀結構域。總的上看,這一蛋白與補體片段C1q英語C1q相似。其中球狀結構域的三維結構已經測定,結構上與TNFα非常相似,但在氨基酸序列上卻差異巨大[6]

受體 編輯

脂聯素可與幾種受體結合,兩種受體與G蛋白偶聯受體同源性,一種屬於鈣粘蛋白家族[7][8]

These have distinct tissue specificities within the body and have different affinities to the various forms of adiponectin. The receptors affect the downstream target AMP kinase英語AMP-activated protein kinase, an important cellular metabolic rate control point. Expression of the receptors is correlated with insulin levels, as well as reduced in mouse models of diabetes, particularly in 骨骼肌 and adipose tissue.[9][10]
