Orphan GPR116 mediates the insulin sensitizing effects of the hepatokine FNDC4 in adipose tissue

The soluble bioactive form of the transmembrane protein fibronectin type III domain containing 4 (sFNDC4) has anti-inflammatory effects and improves insulin sensitivity. Here the authors show that liver derived sFNDC4 signals through adipose tissue GPCR GPR116 to promote insulin-mediated glucose upt...
