Recombinant Rat Resistin Protein

Resistin belongs to a family of tissue-specific cytokines termed FIZZ (found in inflammatory zones) and RELM. The three known members of this family Resistin, RELM-&alpha and RELM-&beta share a highly conserved C-terminal domain, characterized by 10 cysteine residues with a unique spacing motif of C-X₁₁-C-X₈-C-X-C-X₃-C-X₁₀-C-X-C-X-C-X₉-C-C. Resistin is an adipose-derived cytokine (adipokine) whose physiological function and molecular targets are largely unknown. Studies have shown that Resistin suppresses insulin&rsquos ability to stimulate glucose uptake, and postulated that Resistin might be an important link between obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Other studies have indicated that Resistin expression is severely suppressed in obesity and that it may act as a feedback regulator of Adipogenesis. Recombinant rat Resistin is a 20.0 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein composed of two 94 identical amino acid chains linked by a single disulfide bond.
