Resistin Human, Antagonist

Cysteine-rich secreted protein FIZZ3, Adipose tissue-specific secretory factor, ADSF, C/EBP-epsilon-regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein, Cysteine-rich secreted protein A12-alpha-like 2, RSTN, XCP1, RETN1, MGC126603, MGC126609.

Resistin Human antagonist is a monomeric C7A mutant that does not form covalent dimers. Resistin Human antagonist is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia coli.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Resistin was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.03% NaHCO3.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Resistin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O at a concentration of 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized Resistin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Resistin Mouse should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).

Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:

(a) Analysis by Gel Filtration.

(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

(c) Analysis by RP-HPLC.

The sequence of the first seven N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Ser-Ser-Lys-Thr-Leu-Ala.

The biological activity was evidenced by resistin antagonist activity to inhibit resistin-induced Akt phosphorylation in two cell lines. It also reduced the weight (mainly the visceral fat) and normalized GTT and ITT inHFD-fed mice.

SDS

Resistin, also known as adipose tissue-specific secretory factor (ADSF) is a cysteine-rich peptide derived from adipose tissue. Resistin takes part in the inflammatory response, glucose metabolism, and angiogenesis. Resistin blocks insulin stimulated uptake of glucose by adipocytes and promote glucose release by hepatocytes. As such,Resistin considered to participate in diet‑induced insulin-sensitivity. Resistin causes high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease.
