Studies have categorized isthmin-1 as an adipokine with insulin-like behavior that uptakes glucose by the adipocytes and inhibits liver steatosis through a not identified tyrosine kinase receptor, that it is distinct from insulin receptor. Additionally, this adipokine demonstrates important functions in regulating organs development and homeostasis. This review aims to summarize the informations of isthmin-1 protein mainly its functions on glucose and lipid metabolisms.</p></abstract>

Çalışmalar isthmin-1&#039;i, adipositler tarafından glukozu alan ve bilinmeyen bir reseptör aracılığıyla karaciğer yağlanmasını engelleyen insülin benzeri davranışa sahip bir adipokin olarak kategorize etmiştir. Ek olarak, bu adipokin organ gelişimini ve homeostazisini düzenlemede önemli işlevler göstermektedir. Bu derleme, isthmin-1 proteininin esas olarak glukoz ve lipid metabolizmaları üzerindeki işlevleri hakkındaki bilgileri özetlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
