{"symbol":"ADIPOR1","synonyms":["ACDCR1","CGI45","TESBP1A","CGI-45","PAQR1"],"name":"adiponectin receptor 1","description":"This gene encodes a protein which acts as a receptor for adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes which regulates fatty acid catabolism and glucose levels. Binding of adiponectin to the encoded protein results in activation of an AMP-activated kinase signaling pathway which affects levels of fatty acid oxidation and insulin sensitivity. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 14. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
