脂連蛋白(英語:adiponectin,亦稱為脂聯素)是一種主要由脂肪細胞分泌的蛋白質激素,由ADIPOQ基因所編碼[5],含244個氨基酸。成人體內的脂聯素水平與脂肪儲量負相關[來源請求]

結構

脂聯素包含244個氨基酸,可分為4個結構域。從其N端起算,第一個是使其定位於細胞外的信號序列,第二個區域較短且在物種間高度變異,第三個65個氨基酸的區域與膠原蛋白相似,最後一個是脂聯素的球狀結構域。總的上看,這一蛋白與補體片段C1q英語C1q相似。其中球狀結構域的三維結構已經測定,結構上與TNFα非常相似,但在氨基酸序列上卻差異巨大[6]

受體

脂聯素可與幾種受體結合,兩種受體與G蛋白偶聯受體同源性,一種屬於鈣粘蛋白家族[7][8]

這些受體影響下游靶標AMP激酶英語AMP-activated protein kinase,這是一個重要的細胞代謝率控制點。受體的表達與胰島素水平相關,並且在糖尿病小鼠模型中降低,特別是在骨骼肌和脂肪組織中[9][10]
