CTRP5/C1qTNF5: Proteins and Enzymes

C1qTNF5, also known as CTPR5, is a secreted protein that belongs to the highly conserved family of Acrp30/Adiponectin paralogs known as C1q and TNF-related protein family. All family members share a modular organization comprising an N-terminal signal peptide, a short variable region, a collagenous domain and a C‑terminal globular domain. C1qTNF proteins are predicted to have trimeric structures that assemble into hexameric and higher order molecular forms. Human and mouse C1qTNF5 share 94% amino acid sequence identity.
