Miscellaneous/General:	Chemerin (tazarotene-induced gene 2; TIG2) is a chemotactic agent that was identified as the ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor ChemR23. chemerin has been shown to be expressed abundantly in adipose tissue and to function as an adipokine [1, 2]. Chemerin potentiates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and regulates adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolism [1].
