As the largest endocrine organ, adipose tissue secretes many bioactive molecules that circulate in blood, collectively termed adipokines. Efforts to identify such metabolic regulators have led to the discovery of a family of secreted proteins, designated as C1q tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related proteins (CTRPs). The CTRP proteins, adiponectin, TNF-alpha, as well as other proteins with the distinct C1q domain are collectively grouped together as the C1q/TNF superfamily. Reflecting profound biological potency, the initial characterization of these adipose tissue-derived CTRP factors finds wide-ranging effects upon metabolism, inflammation, and survival-signaling in multiple tissue types. CTRP3 (also known as CORS26, cartducin, or cartonectin) is a unique member of this adipokine family. In this review we provide a comprehensive overview of the research concerning the expression, regulation, and physiological function of CTRP3. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

作为最大的内分泌器官,脂肪组织分泌许多在血液中循环的生物活性分子,统称为脂肪因子。鉴定此类代谢调节因子的努力导致了一个分泌蛋白家族的发现,该家族被命名为C1q肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)相关蛋白(CTRP)。CTRP蛋白、脂联素、TNF-α以及其他具有独特C1q结构域的蛋白被统称为C1q/TNF超家族。这些源自脂肪组织的CTRP因子的初步特征显示出对多种组织类型的代谢、炎症和生存信号具有广泛影响,这反映了其强大的生物学效能。CTRP3(也称为CORS26、cartducin或cartonectin)是这个脂肪因子家族的一个独特成员。在本综述中,我们全面概述了有关CTRP3的表达、调节和生理功能的研究。©2017美国生理学会。综合生理学7:863 - 878,2017。
