ADIPOQ, 108-244aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

ADIPOQ is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. This protein circulates in the plasma and is involved with metabolic and hormonal processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with adiponectin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. Recombinant human ADIPOQ protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli .
