Gene: ADIPOQ

Alternate names for this Gene: ACDC|ACRP30|ADIPQTL1|ADPN|APM-1|APM1|GBP28

Gene Summary: This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q27.3

Description of this Gene: adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: ADIPOQ-AS1
