Anti-Visfatin antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the Visfatin antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the NAMPT gene, which encodes nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase. This protein is known to function in cell to cell signaling and the regulation of cell proliferation, among other biological roles. The human version of Visfatin has a canonical amino acid length of 491 residues and a protein mass of 55.5 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and is secreted of cells and notably expressed in many tissues, such as the appendix, tonsil, and adrenal gland. Other names for this target antigen include 1110035O14Rik, PBEF, and PBEF1. Some Visfatin antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
