Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Adiponectin present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human Adiponectin antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Adiponectin bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay Specificity\u003cbr\u003e\nOur ELISA kits are rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility.

Adiponectin is secreted predominantly by adipose tissue and circulates in the blood. This protein forms various multimeric structures including low-molecular-weight medium-molecular-weight and high-molecular-weight forms each with distinct biological functions. Its expression in adipose tissue links it closely to metabolic processes and functions related to fat storage and energy balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAdiponectin influences glucose regulation and fatty acid oxidation. It acts as a hormone with several metabolic roles including anti-diabetic anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Adiponectin participates in forming a complex with other proteins such as AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 which are receptors facilitating signal transduction. The interaction of adiponectin with its receptors leads to the induction of several lipid and glucose metabolism pathways important for maintaining cellular energy balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMany regulatory cascades are influenced by adiponectin. This protein is integral to the AMPK signaling pathway and the PPAR signaling pathway. In the AMPK pathway adiponectin enhances insulin sensitivity and stimulates oxidation of fatty acids in muscle tissue. Through the PPAR pathway it influences lipid metabolism and storage. Adiponectin interacts with key proteins such as leptin and resistin coordinating various metabolic pathways to balance energy and glucose levels making it a critical factor in metabolic regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nReduced levels of adiponectin associate with conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Lower circulating adiponectin concentrations correlate with obesity leading to increased insulin resistance and higher risk of type 2 diabetes. In cardiovascular disease this protein's role links to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to decrease the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Adiponectin also interacts with proteins like cytokines that play a role in these conditions affecting the body's inflammatory responses and metabolic processes highlighting its importance in health and disease management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843542241449,"sku":"ab99968","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab99968","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
