Anti-Resistin (mouse), clone MRES18

Monoclonal antibody. Recognizes mouse resistin. Does not cross-react with human resistin. Applications: ELISA. Isotype: Mouse IgG1kappa. Clone: MRES18. Liquid. In PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. The adipokine resistin which belongs to a family of cysteine-rich C-terminal proteins known as resistin-like molecules (RELM, RELMalpha/FIZZ 1 and RELMbeta/FIZZ 2) of FIZZ (found in inflammatory zone) that are thought to be involved in inflammatory processes. Previous studies in mice showed that resistin impairs glucose tolerance and insulin action. In addition, resistin also inhibits adipogenesis in murine 3T3-L1 cells. Therefore resistin has also been proposed as an adipocyte-secreted factor thought to link obesity and T2DM.
