Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects resistin (gene Retn) in mouse samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 12.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 38 kDa.
Resistin (RETN) is a small cysteine-rich secreted protein. In mice it is made by adipocytes and was named for its ability to cause insulin resistance, whereas in humans it comes mainly from monocytes and macrophages and is tied more closely to inflammation. It is measured in studies of obesity, insulin resistance and inflammatory disease.

Validated Applications
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Mouse) |
|---|---|
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): recombinant mouse Resistin protein.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of mouse resistin.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse. UniProt describes resistin as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Expressed in white but not brown adipose tissue in a variety of organs. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
