Product Specs

Introduction
Adiponectin, a 244-amino acid protein encoded by the apM1 gene, is primarily produced by adipose cells (hence, an adipokine). Structurally, it belongs to the soluble defense collagen superfamily, featuring a collagen-like domain similar to collagen VIII, X, and complement factor C1q-like globular domain. Adiponectin monomers assemble into homotrimers, serving as the foundation for higher-order complexes found circulating in serum.
Description
Recombinant human Acrp30, expressed in HEK293 cells, is engineered with a FLAG tag.
Biological Activity
The ability of mammalian cell-derived human Adiponectin to suppress glucose production was assessed using an in vitro gluconeogenesis assay with primary hepatocytes. The half-maximal effective concentration (ED50) was determined to be approximately 6 micrograms per milliliter.
Physical Appearance
Lyophilized powder, white in color.
Formulation
Prior to lyophilization, the product undergoes filtration (0.4 micrometers) and is prepared in a 50mM phosphate buffer containing 75mM NaCl at pH 7.4, with a concentration of 0.5 milligrams per milliliter.
Solubility
To generate a working stock solution of roughly 0.5 milligrams per milliliter, reconstitute the lyophilized pellet with deionized water, ensuring complete dissolution. This product is not sterile; for cell culture applications, it requires filtration using an appropriate sterile filter.
Stability
For long-term storage, keep lyophilized AdipoQ at -20 degrees Celsius. After reconstitution, aliquot the product to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted protein exhibits stability at 4 degrees Celsius for a limited duration, showing no noticeable changes for up to two weeks. The lyophilized protein remains stable for 24 months when stored at -20 degrees Celsius.
Purity
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and SDS-PAGE analysis confirm a purity exceeding 98%.
Synonyms
Acrp30, AdipoQ, GBP-28, APM-1, ACDC.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

Adiponectin is composed of a carboxyl-terminal globular domain and an amino-terminal collagen domain . It circulates in the plasma in various multimeric forms, including trimers, hexamers, and high molecular weight (HMW) complexes. The HMW form is considered the most biologically active, particularly in mediating insulin-sensitizing effects .

Production in HEK 293 Cells

Human recombinant adiponectin is often produced using HEK 293 cells, a human embryonic kidney cell line. This system is preferred because it ensures proper post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, which are essential for the protein’s stability and function . The recombinant protein is typically expressed with a 6-His tag at the C-terminus to facilitate purification .

Biological Actions

Adiponectin exerts its effects through several mechanisms:

  • Insulin Sensitivity: It enhances insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle and liver tissues.
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects: Adiponectin inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules in endothelial cells, reducing inflammation and preventing atherosclerosis .
  • Lipid Metabolism: It promotes lipid catabolism and reduces lipid accumulation in tissues, thereby protecting against obesity-related complications .
Clinical Significance

Low levels of adiponectin are associated with various metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Therapeutic strategies aimed at increasing adiponectin levels or mimicking its actions are being explored to treat these conditions .

Research and Applications

Recombinant human adiponectin produced in HEK 293 cells is widely used in research to study its physiological roles and therapeutic potential. It is also used in drug development and screening assays to identify compounds that can modulate adiponectin levels or activity .
