Inflammation Database: genes involved in inflammation: ADIPOR1 (adiponectin receptor 1) – ADORA2A (adenosine A2a receptor)

ADIPOR1 (adiponectin receptor 1)


[ACDCR1, CGI-45, CGI45, FLJ25385, FLJ42464, PAQR1, TESBP1A]



The adiponectin receptors, ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 mediate elevated AMPK and PPAR-alpha ligand activities, as well as fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by adiponectin (OMIM, 2010). In patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV), adiponectin was found to be linked to steatosis only in males [...] http://digg.com/u1RP4G
