ADIPOQ, Official Symbol ADIPOQprovided by HGNC Official Full Name adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containingprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:13633 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000181092 MIM:605441; AllianceGenome:HGNC:13633 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as ACDC; ADPN; APM1; APM-1; GBP28; ACRP30; ADIPQTL1 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.
