SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	adipocytokine that may play an important role in skeletal development
	exerts anti-inflammatory properties and is expressed in monocytic cells
	acting as a regulator of angiogenic processes, and may be involved as a novel angiogenic factor in the formation of neointima following angioplasty
	new adipokine that differentially regulates the secretion of classical adipokines, with marked differences between the human and the murine systems (basal adipokine secretion is influenced by the BMI)
	circulate in the blood and is potential endocrine hormone
	is linked to hepatic glucose metabolism and a novel adipokine
	stimulates chondrogenic precursor cell proliferation and promotes angiogenesis
	metabolic regulator of glucose homeostasis
	acts directly on liver cells, independent of insulin, to suppress gluconeogenic gene expression and glucose production
