Summary: Enables adiponectin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling receptor activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and vascular wound healing. Acts upstream of or within adiponectin-activated signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ADIPOR2 (adiponectin receptor 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
