aP2 is secreted from adipocytes through a process that is regulated by fasting and lipolysis. Circulating aP2 acts on liver tissue to stimulate the gluconeogenic program and enhance hepatic glucose production. Other potential functions of aP2 in local adipose-macrophage interaction and on other metabolic organs warrant further investigation.
