Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)

Enables hormone activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of oxidative stress; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; and positive regulation of D-glucose import. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; early conceptus; gut; reproductive system; and serum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cardiovascular system disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); primary open angle glaucoma; prostate adenocarcinoma; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ADIPOQ (adiponectin, C1Q and collagen domain containing).
