Abstract
Irisin is a 112 amino acid peptide hormone cleaved from the fibronectin type III domain-containing protein. Irisin is highly conserved across vertebrates, suggesting evolutionarily conserved common functions among domestic animals. These functions include the browning of white adipose tissue and increased energy expenditure. Irisin has been detected and studied primarily in plasma, serum, and skeletal muscle, but has also been found in adipose tissue, liver, kidney, lungs, cerebrospinal fluid, breast milk, and saliva. This wider tissue presence of irisin suggests additional functions beyond its role as a myokine in regulating energy use. We are beginning to understand irisin in domestic animals. The goal of this review is to provide an up-to-date commentary on irisin structure, tissue distribution, and functions across vertebrates, especially mammals of importance in veterinary medicine. Irisin could be explored as a potential candidate for developing therapeutic agents and biomarkers in domestic animal endocrinology.
