Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed, with highest levels in heart. Very low expression, if any, in colon, pancreas and spleen. |
Post Translational Modifications | The extracellular domain is cleaved and released from the cell membrane. N-Glycosylated. |
Function | Irisin: Contrary to mouse, may not be involved in the beneficial effects of muscular exercise, nor in the induction of browning of human white adipose tissue. |
