Biochem/physiol Actions
Apelin (APLN) is secreted by white adipose tissue. It is an adipokine which has a role in tumor cell progression and vascularization. The protein may have a role in obesity-related disorders. APLN is involved in modulating energy homeostasis, water balance, glucose metabolism and immunity. It has been shown to be upregulated in many cancers.
