Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human Resistin recombinant protein (Position: K19-P108). Human Resistin shares 58.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse Resistin. (reported region: K19-P108).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 11 kDa; calculated MW: 11419 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: ELISA, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Resistin; Resistin. Resistin, also known as adipose tissue-specific secretory factor (ADSF) or C/EBP-epsilon-regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein (XCP1) is a cysteine-rich protein that in humans is encoded by the RETN gene. The resistin gene comprises 4 exons, the first of which is untranslated, and spans approximately 1,750 bp. The human resistin gene is localized to a cloned fragment of human chromosome 19. In primates, pigs and dogs, resistin is secreted by immune and epithelial cells while in rodents, it is secreted by adipose tissue. Resistin is a cytokine whose physiologic role has been the subject of much controversy regarding its involvement with obesity and type II diabetes mellitus. Functional note: Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Expressed only in fatty tissues.
Research relevance and current trends
- Atherosclerosis: Researchers commonly examine how RETN (Resistin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cardiovascular: Researchers commonly examine how RETN (Resistin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Diabetes-associated: Researchers commonly examine how RETN (Resistin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative RETN (Resistin) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Family / similarity context: Belongs to the resistin/FIZZ family.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
