Anti-Resistin (Capture/Detector)

Resistin (resistance-to-insulin),also known as adipocyte-specific secretory factor (ADSF) and found in inflammatory zone 3 (FIZZ3),is a 10 kDa member of a small family of secreted cysteine-rich peptide hormones. These molecules purportedly play some role in inflammation,glucose metabolism,and angiogenesis. Protein function: Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes. Promotes chemotaxis in myeloid cells (PubMed:15064728). [The UniProt Consortium]
