Adiponectin receptor 1, also known as ADIPOR1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ADIPOR1 gene.[1]

Function

The adiponectin receptors, ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 (this protein), serve as receptors for globular and full-length adiponectin and mediate increased AMPK and PPAR-α ligand activities, as well as fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by adiponectin.[1][2]
