Description
Human Vaspin Recombinant Protein C-His Tag has been recombinantly produced in Human Cells.
Vaspin (Visceral Adipose-Specific SERPIN) is a newly described adipokine. Vaspin has three beta-sheets; nine alpha-helices; and one central loop; the structure is part of the set of distinctive features that are descriptive of Serpin family members. Vaspin is also a unique insulin sensitizing adipocytokine in obesity. A recent publication indicates that Vaspin mRNA expression in visceral fat is positively correlated with BMI and percent of body fat. and could be associated with parameters of obesity; insulin resistance; and glucose metabolism. These findings suggest a potential clinical use for Vaspin in ameliorating certain aberrations seen in the obesity metabolic syndrome
