摘要
锌-α2-糖蛋白(ZAG)是由脂肪细胞分泌的一种新型脂肪动员因子,存在于人血浆和多种体液中。它是一种多功能糖蛋白,其分子结构中具有与脂肪动员相关的特征性疏水槽结构,能够促进脂肪的分解和利用,并通过协调多种信号转导途径和其他脂肪细胞因子,参与脂代谢的调控。因此,ZAG很可能成为脂代谢紊乱及其相关疾病治疗的潜在作用靶点。
Zinc-α2-glycoprotein(ZAG) is a novel lipid mobilizing factor secreted by adipocyte. It pres- ents in plasma and other body fluids of human, containing characteristic hydrophobic groove related with lipid mobilizing. As a multi-function glycoprotein, ZAG can enable decomposition and utilization of fat by coordina- ting many signal transduction pathways and other fat cytokines, thus influencing lipid metabolism. Studies show ZAG may be a potential therapeutic target for lipid metabolism disorders and related diseases.
