basic FUNCTION
| adipokine with insulin-sensitizing effects, which is predominantly secreted from visceral adipose tissue in diabetes  |
|
exerting an insulin-sensitizing effect targeted toward visceral white adipose tissues in states of obesity |
|
IAPP and SERPINA12 are modulated by energy status in the placenta, which suggests that these proteins may be involved in the regulation of placental metabolic functions (pMID: 19554505) |
|
acting as regulator of insulin sensitivity but also as mediators of the inflammatory process  |
|
adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effects  |
|
protects vascular endothelial cells from free fatty acid-induced apoptosis through upregulation of the PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway  |
|
activates the PI3-kinase/Akt signaling cascade in aortic endothelial cells  |
|
is a novel adipocytokine with anti-inflammatory property in vascular SMCs  |
|
is a novel ligand for cell-surface HSPA5/DNAJC1 complex, and its subsequent signals exert beneficial effects on ER stress-induced metabolic dysfunctions  |
|
protects osteoblasts (hOBs) from serum deprivation-induced apoptosis, which may be mediated by activating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway  |
|
might attenuate the cytokine-induced expression of adhesion molecule genes by inhibiting NFKB1 following AMPK activation  |
