Rabbit Anti-Bovine Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) Polyclonal Antibody-[Biotin]

Bovine adiponectin is a hormone predominantly produced by white adipose tissue and plays a multifaceted role in livestock, particularly in lipid metabolism, energy regulation, immunity, and insulin sensitivity. It interacts with its receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, which are expressed in various tissues including adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, and other organs. This hormone is significant for livestock productivity and reproduction, as it influences carcass characteristics such as meat marbling and ribeye muscle area by promoting skeletal muscle proliferation through the p38-MAPK pathway. Adiponectin is also implicated in mammal fertility, as it is part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis involved in reproductive functions. Its circulating levels correlate negatively with fat mass and are implicated in the regulation of fat metabolism, immune system, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitivity, making it a key factor in the metabolic health and productivity of cattle.
