Adipokine
The adipokines, or adipocytokines (Greek adipo-, fat; cytos-, cell; and -kinos, movement) are cytokines (cell signaling proteins) secreted by adipose tissue.

Apelin receptor
The apelin receptor (also known as the APJ receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor which binds apelin and Apela/ELABELA/Toddler.
