Background
Regulate fatty acid oxidation and the uptake of glucose by adiponectin. Each receptor activates a unique set of signaling molecules including AMPK, p38 MAPK and PPAR?. AdipoR1 has a high-affinity for globular adiponectin and low-affinity for full-length adiponectin, while AdipoR2 has an intermediate affinity for both forms. Receptor for ADIPOQ, an essential hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism (PubMed:25855295, PubMed:12802337). Required for normal glucose and fat homeostasis and for maintaining a normal body weight. ADIPOQ-binding activates a signaling cascade that leads to increased AMPK activity, and ultimately to increased fatty acid oxidation, increased glucose uptake and decreased gluconeogenesis. Has high affinity for globular adiponectin and low affinity for full-length adiponectin (By similarity).
