Retn-68M |
| Description : |
Mouse resistin, specifically produced and secreted by adipocyte, acts on skeletal muscle myocytes, hepatocytes and adipocytes themselves so that it reduces their sensitivity to insulin. Steppan et al. have suggested that resistin suppresses the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake. They have also suggested that resistin is present at elevated levels in blood of obese mice, and is down regulated by fasting and antidiabetic drugs. Way et al., on the other hand, have found that resistin expression is severly suppressed in obesity and is stimulated by several antidiabetic drugs. Other studies have shown that mouse resistin increases during the differentiation of adipocytes, but it also seems to inhibit adipogenesis. In contrast, the human adipogenic differentiation is likely to be associated with a down regulation of resistin gene expression. |
| Source : |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Specificity : |
The amino acid sequence of the Recombinant Mouse Resistin is 100% homologous to the amino acid sequence of the Resistin Mouse. |
| Purification Method : |
Two-step procedure using size exclusion chromatography before and after refolding. |
| Purity : |
>95% (SDS-PAGE analyzed). |
| Formulation : |
Sterile filtered and lyophilized from 0.5 mg/ml in 0.05M Acetate buffer pH-4. |
| Solubility : |
Add 0.2 ml of 0.1 M Acetate buffer pH4 and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. For conversion into higher pH value, we recommend intensive dilution by relevant buffer to a concentration of 10 μg/ml. In higher concentrations the solubility of this antigen is limited. |
| Applications : |
Western blotting, ELISA. |
| Stability : |
Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. The lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored. |
