Asprosin is a fasting-induced hormone that increases plasma glucose levels in the liver. It also stimulates appetite in the hypothalamus by activating the cAMP signaling pathway via an unknown G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). In a recent study, the lab of Yiguo Wang (Tsinghua University, 100084 Beijing, China) identifies the multipass G protein-coupled receptor olfactory receptor OLFR734, as the Asprosin receptor in liver. The Asprosin-OLFR734 axis plays a key role in hepatic glucose homeostasis during fasting and in obesity.
