Facts about Adiponectin receptor protein 2.
ADIPOQ-binding activates a signaling cascade that leads to greater PPARA action, and finally to increased fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake (PubMed:12802337, PubMed:17268472, PubMed:24742672). Has intermediate affinity for globular and full-length adiponectin (PubMed:12802337).

Detected in liver and quadriceps muscle (at protein level) (PubMed:17327425). Highly expressed in liver (PubMed:12802337). Highly expressed in white adipose tissue, and at intermediate levels in brown adipose tissue (PubMed:24742672). Expressed at intermediate level in heart, kidney, lung and skeletal muscle. Weakly expressed in brain, spleen and testis.
