Adipokine
The adipokines, or adipocytokines (Greek adipo-, fat; cytos-, cell; and -kinos, movement) are cytokines (cell signaling proteins) secreted by adipose tissue. The first adipokine to be discovered was leptin in 1994.[1] Since that time, hundreds of adipokines have been discovered.[2]
Members include:
- Leptin
- Adiponectin
- Apelin[3]
- chemerin[4]
- interleukin-6 (IL-6)[5]
- monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1)[6]
- plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)
- retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4)
- tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα)
- visfatin
- omentin
- vaspin
- progranulin
- CTRP-4
In addition, interleukin 8 (IL-8), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and inducible protein 10 (IP-10 or CXCL10) have been shown to be associated with excessive body weight.[7]
