purity :
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
form :
Recombinant human Resistin was lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered PBS solution.
storage stability :
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2°-8° for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
other info1 :
Host Note: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Resistin mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
other info2 :
Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to stimulate lipolysis in cultured human adipocytes. Endotoxin: Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug). Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. Molecular Weight Note: Native human Resistin, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide. and propeptide, the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 10 kDa. Recombinant Resistin is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of two 93 amino acid residue subunits, and migrates as an approximately 20 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and as a 10 kDa protein under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

Cytokines
products description :
Resistin was identified by screening for genes that are induced during the differentiation of adipocytes but down- regulated in mature adipocytes. Resistin gene expression is induced during the differentiation of adipocytes. Resistin circulates in mouse serum, and its level is increased markedly in obesity. Adipocytes secrete resistin as a unique signaling molecule that may be the hormone potentially linking obesity to type II diabetes, which is characterized by target- tissue resistance to insulin. TNF-alpha is a negative regulator of Resistin gene expression and inhibits Resistin mRNA expression and protein secretion by 70-90 % in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

ncbi summary :
This gene belongs to the family defined by the mouse resistin-like genes. The characteristic feature of this family is the C-terminal stretch of 10 cys residues with identical spacing. The mouse homolog of this protein is secreted by adipocytes, and may be the hormone potentially linking obesity to type II diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
