Function

Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells (By similarity). Potentially links obesity to diabetes (By similarity). Promotes chemotaxis in myeloid cells (PubMed:15064728). {UniProtKB:Q99P87, PubMed:15064728}.

Additionnal Information

Immunoblotting: use at 1:500-1:1,000 dilution. In immunoblots, a band of approximately 14 kD is detected.

Storage Conditions

This antibody is stable for at least one (1) year at -20°C to -70°C. Store antibody in appropriate aliquots to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity

This antibody specifically recognizes human resistin, a product of white adipose tissue believed to induce insulin resistance in obesity and regulate adipocyte differentiation. This hormone appears to be the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes.
