Apelin

Index Apelin

Apelin (also known as APLN) is a peptide that in humans is encoded by the APLN gene. [1]

7 relations: Adipocyte, Adipokine, Adipose tissue, Apelin receptor, Endothelium, Gi alpha subunit, PRKCE.

Adipocyte

Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat.

Adipokine

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

Adipose tissue

In biology, adipose tissue, body fat, or simply fat is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes.

Apelin receptor

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

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Gi alpha subunit

Gi alpha subunit (Gαi, or Gi/G0 or Gi protein) is a heterotrimeric G protein subunit that inhibits the production of cAMP from ATP.

PRKCE

Protein kinase C epsilon type (PKCε) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRKCE gene.
