Zusammenfassung
Background: Adiponectin is an insulin-sensitizing hormone which is produced and secreted exclusively by adipose tissue. After synthesis and multimerization of the single 30 kDa polypeptide within the endoplasmic reticulum, the adipokine proceeds through compartments of the Golgi apparatus and is subsequently released into the bloodstream. The ubiquitously expressed GTPase ARFRP1 (ADP-ribosylation factor-related protein 1) controls a scaffolding machinery at the trans-Golgi that is supposed to target intracellular vesicles to their correct destination. We therefore aim to elucidate the role of ARFRP1 on adipocyte…
