Adiponectin/Acrp30(247amino 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(247aa) 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.
