| Primary Identifier | MGI:93830 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 68465 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display small testes and epididymis, degeneration of the seminiferous tubules, abnormal sperm maturation and abnormal thermogenesis.
