Complement C1q-like protein 3

UniProtKB accession:  Q9ESN4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  May regulate the number of excitatory synapses that are formed on hippocampus neurons. Has no effect on inhibitory synapses. Plays a role in glucose homeostasis. Via AMPK signaling pathway, stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes, myotubes and hepatocytes and enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. In a hepatoma cell line, reduces the expression of gluconeogenic enzymes G6PC1 and PCK1 and hence decreases de novo glucose production.
