PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • seven transmembrane domains that are different from classical G-protein-coupled receptors in structure and function
  • a non-conserved region (AAs 1–81) restricts its cell-surface expression
  • mono polymer homomer , heteromer

    text
  • majority of cell-surface ADIPOR2 may be present in the form of hetero-dimers, which are likely to have unique characteristics when compared with ADIPOR1 or ADIPOR2 homo-dimers, respectively
  • basic FUNCTION
  • enhancing the binding of both globular and full-length adiponectin
  • major adiponectin receptors, which mediate the major, if not the entire, part of adiponectin binding and adiponectin actions
  • having a functional role in bone homeostasis
  • may provide an important signal linking fat and body weight to bone density
  • potential role in the regulation of alcohol intake
  • transcriptionally regulated by ER stress-inducible ATF3 in hepatocyte cells
