Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

C1QTNF3 (CTRP3/cartducin/cartonectin) is a secreted adipokine that circulates as trimers and alternatively spliced hetero-oligomers, the latter association protecting the longer isoform from proteolytic cleavage (PMID:20952387, PMID:16213490). It functions broadly as a metabolic and anti-inflammatory cytoprotective factor: in liver it lowers glucose output by activating Akt and suppressing gluconeogenic gene expression independently of insulin (PMID:20952387), and it limits hepatic steatosis by downregulating triglyceride-synthesis enzymes (GPAT, AGPAT, DGAT) and promoting fatty acid oxidation (PMID:23744740, PMID:29763374). Across cardiac, intestinal, pancreatic, reproductive, and neuronal tissues, CTRP3 confers protection chiefly through an AMPK/SIRT1–PGC-1α axis that drives mitochondrial biogenesis and the mitochondrial unfolded protein response via SIRT1/ATF5, while SIRT1 also restrains NF-κB inflammatory signaling (PMID:27793739, PMID:36592863, PMID:38278820, PMID:29572383, PMID:33098065). In fibrotic and hypertrophic settings it activates AMPK and Akt and blocks TGF-β1–driven Smad3 phosphorylation and Smad3–p300 interaction (PMID:26138247). Genetic loss-of-function establishes CTRP3 as a negative regulator of autoimmune and inflammatory disease, increasing severity of collagen-induced arthritis and colitis and augmenting Th17 differentiation, the latter acting through AdipoR2 to lower Rorc and Stat3 (PMID:24269820, PMID:34925309, PMID:36592863). CTRP3 binds cell-surface LAMP1, a confirmed receptor identified by ligand-receptor capture and Co-IP, which transduces anti-inflammatory STAT3 suppression in keratinocytes and a LAMP1/JIP2/JNK cardioprotective signal (PMID:27727322, PMID:34687744, PMID:35278832). Its actions are context-dependent and not uniformly protective: CTRP3 exacerbates tendinopathy by driving chondrogenic differentiation of tendon progenitors via Akt and promotes macrophage chemotaxis and M1 polarization in adipose tissue (PMID:34797714, PMID:35720277). Notably, genetic deletion has minimal impact on whole-body glucose metabolism, contrasting with gain-of-function studies and revealing route- and model-dependent effects (PMID:26670485, PMID:26997632).
