Brand:  PeproTech 500-P183-100UG

Product Code. 17894943

Description

AA Sequence of recombinant protein: SSKTLCSMEE AINERIQEVA GSLIFRAISS IGLECQSVTS RGDLATCPRG FAVTGCTCGS ACGSWDVRAE TTCHCQCAGM DWTGARCCRV QP. Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human Resistin. Anti-Human Resistin-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Human Resistin matrix. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human Resistin by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Biotinylated Anti-Human Resistin (500-P183Bt) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 2000-4000 ng/well of Recombinant Human Resistin. Western Blot: To detect Human Resistin by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant Human Resistin is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Adipose tissue is an energy reserve in animals and is strictly regulated. Adipose cells produce and secrete numerous physiologically important proteins, such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL), leptin, adipocyte complement related protein of 30 kDa (Acrp30), perilipin, and resistin. Resistin, also known as Adipocyte Secreted Factor (ADSF) and FIZZ3, is a cytokine that is specifically secreted by adipocytes. While the function of resistin is not well understood, it appears to have key paracrine roles and has a suggested role in type 2 diabetes. Studies show that in obese, diabetic mice the levels of serum resistin are increased, which has an antagonistic effect on insulin. Additional studies have shown that resistin causes insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in mice. Resistin gene expression requires C/EBP alpha, which is necessary and sufficient for expression. Studies show that the coactivators CBP and p300, which have been shown to display histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity, abundantly acetylate the histones at the resistin promoter suggesting their role in activating chromatin for resistin transcription. Numerous PPAR gamma and RXR ligands have been shown to downregulate resistin expression in adipocytes.
