Summary
This gene is expressed in adipose tissue exclusively. It encodes a protein with similarity to collagens X and VIII and complement factor C1q. The encoded 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. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

Adiponectin, 30 kDa adipocyte complement-related protein, adipocyte complement-related 30 kDa protein, adipose most abundant gene transcript 1 protein, adipose specific collagen-like factor, gelatin-binding protein 28
 
Function
Important adipokine involved in the control of fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity, with direct anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. Stimulates AMPK phosphorylation and activation in the liver and the skeletal muscle, enhancing glucose utilization and fatty-acid combustion. Antagonizes TNF-alpha by negatively regulating its expression in various tissues such as liver and macrophages, and also by counteracting its effects. Inhibits endothelial NF-kappa-B signaling through a cAMP-dependent pathway. May play a role in cell growth, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various growth factors with distinct binding affinities, depending on the type of complex, LMW, MMW or HMW

PubMed ID Associated gene/s Associated condition Genetic Mutation Diagnostic Criteria Association with PCOS Ethnicity Conclusion
 
PCOS 
rs1501299 
 
Direct 
224 unrelated Han Chinese PCOS patients and parents 
TDT confirms that SNP rs1501299 in the ADIPOQ is significantly associated with the risk of PCOS in the Chinese Han population. The three SNP of the ADIPOQ were not associated with the obesity of PCOS. 
NPPA 
PCOS 
 
Rotterdam criteria 
Direct 
40 PCOS patients, 36 controls 
Women with PCOS had lower ANP and adiponectin compared with controls matched for age and BMI. Thus, the mechanisms that affect ANP and adiponectin production and clearance may be altered in PCOS, regardless of adiposity. These hormones may be involved in the metabolic features of PCOS. 
 
PCOS, Blood Pressure 
Haplotype TGTG from SNP 45T/G and 276G/T 
 
Related 
80 women with PCOS and 1500 non-hirsute controls 
Haplotype TGTG from adiponectin gene variants 45T/G and 276G/T is related to susceptibility to PCOS, and might be associated with increased blood pressure in PCOS.

118 young Taiwanese women with PCOS 
The study demonstrates that adiponectin is an independent biomarker that is positively and evidently related to HDL-C and TGs in women with PCOS

PCOS, insulin sensitivity 
 
NICHD criteria 
Related 
40 women with PCOS and 40 age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched regular cycling women (controls) 
IGFBP-3 and TNF levels were not associated with insulin sensitivity, but adiponectin levels were related to insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS.
