Mouse Resistin PharmaGenie ELISA - Kit Information
Resistin is a 12.5 kDa cysteine-rich hormone secreted by adipose tissue. It is also known as XCP-1 (CEBPE regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein precursor 1), FIZZ3 (found in inflammatory zone 3), or ADSF (adipocyte-specific secretory factor). The length of the resistin is 108 amino acids in humans, and 114 amino acids in mouse and rat; the molecular weight is ~12.5 kDa. Resistin is an adipokine with physiologic role regarding its involvement with obesity and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Resistin has a high sequence homology among species (43% in a mature protein). Crystal structures of resistin reveal an unusual composition of several subunits that are held together by non-covalent interactions which make up its structure. Each protein subunit comprises a carboxy-terminal disulfide-rich Beta-sandwich "head" domain and an amino-terminal alpha-helical "tail" segment. The globular domain from resistin contains five disulfide bonds. Some studies have shown the important role of resistin linking obesity to T2DM. The underlying belief among those in support of this theory is that serum resistin levels will increase with increased adiposity. Conversely, serum resistin levels have been found to decline with decreased adiposity following medical treatment. This fact takes on significant implications considering the well understood link between central obesity and insulin resistance; marked peculiarities of T2DM. Furthermore, many studies have shown the positive correlations between resistin levels and insulin resistance, and a direct correlation between resistin levels and subjects with T2DM, indicating that such serum resistin increases are accountable for the insulin resistance apparently associated with increased adiposity. In addition to its role in insulin resistance in obese subjects, resistin also plays a role in inflammation and energy homeostasis.
