The adiponectin receptors (AdipoRs) include the following two receptors, which are bound and activated by adiponectin:
- Adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1, PAQR1)
- Adiponectin receptor 2 (AdipoR2, PAQR2)
They are members of the progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) family.[1]
In 2016, the University of Tokyo announced that it would launch an investigation into claims of fabrication of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 identification data, as accused by an anonymous person/group called Ordinary_researchers.[2]
