MeSH definition : Cell surface receptors for ADIPONECTIN, an antidiabetic hormone secreted by ADIPOCYTES.
Adiponectin receptors are membrane proteins with multiple cytoplasmic and extracellular
regions. They are about 43 kDa and encoded by at least two genes with different affinities
for globular and full-length adiponectin.;
