Cross Reactivity
There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes.
Background
Resistin is an adipose-derived hormone postulated to link adiposity to insulin resistance.1 Type 2 diabetes, characterized by target-tissue resistance to insulin, is epidemic in industrialized societies and is strongly associated with obesity. Adipocytes secrete a unique signalling molecule, which called resistin (for resistance to insulin), that may be the hormone potentially links obesity to diabetes.2 Resistin is overexpressed in human adipose tissue of obese individuals and is likely to modulate insulin sensitivity. Resistin is, therefore, a candidate gene for insulin resistance.3 The standard product used in this kit is human Resistin with the molecular mass of 51-53KDa. The detected Resistin includes zymogen and active enzyme.
