Resistin Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Resistin is an adipocytokine, which has been studied for its role in insulin resistance and recently in inflammation. The RETN and CAP1 polymorphisms and gene expression may be potential biomarkers for breast cancer risk. Resistin (RETN), recently found to be relevant to inflammation and inflammatory disorders.

Overview

A DNA sequence encoding the human RETN (NP_065148.1) (Ser17-Pro108) was expressed with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

Activity

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Form

Lyophilized

Buffer

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

Function

Cytokine Proteins, Growth Factor proteins

Molecular Weight

The recombinant human RETN consists 352 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 38.2 kDa.

Storage Conditions

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
