Description
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 insulinstimulated 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 lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease.
Resistin Human Recombinant produced in HEK293 cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain (19-108 a. A) containing 96 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 10.3 kDa.Resistin is fused to a 6 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
