Recombinant Human Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase

• Cat.No.: NAMPT-134H
• Product Overview: Recombinant HumanVisfatin produced inE.Coliis a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 511 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 57 kDa. The recombinant human Visfatin is fused to His tag at N-Terminus.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: Visfatin, also known as pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor (PBEF), is a cytokine that is highly expressed in visceral fat and was originally isolated as a secreted factor that synergizes with IL-7 and stem cell factors to promote the growth of B cell precursors. Visfatin homologs have been identified in carp, invertebrate mollusks, and bacteria, as well as in vertebrates, including humans and the mouse. It has been postulated to play a role in innate immunity. Visfatin exerts insulin-mimetic effects that are dose-dependent and quantitatively similar to those of insulin in stimulating muscle and adipocyte glucose transport, and in inhibiting hepatocyte glucose production. Intravenous injection of recombinant visfatin in mice decreased plasma glucose in a dose-dependent fashion.
