Adiponectin, also referred to as Acrp30, AdipoQ and GBP28, is a 30kDa protein which percentage in serum proteins is 0.01%. It is mainly synthesized by adipocytes, but also muscle cells and hepatocytes have the ability to synthesize Adiponectin. Beside the trimer and ditrimer also high molecular multimers exist. Two different receptors are known, both receptors are ubiquitary expressed, though the distribution in the tissues varies. The Adiponectin Receptor 1 (AdipoR1) is especially in muscle- and AdipoR2 in liver tissue synthesized. Several studies show, that adiponectin correlates negatively with BMI and thus it could have relevance for the energy metabolism for example through the regulation of fatty acid oxidation. Beside the correlation with BMI, Adiponectin level is associated with the Insulin-Resistance and so also linked with Type II Diabetes. Adiponectin is associated also with glucose- und lipometabolism.
