The cysteine-rich, adipose tissue-specific, secretory factor resistin (resistance to Insulin) also known as ADSF, is a secreted hormone that potentially links obesity to diabetes. Resistin is rich in serine and cysteine residues and contains a unique cysteine repeat motif. Resistin and the resistin-like molecules share the characteristic cysteine composition and other signature features. Resistin-like expression is highest in proliferative epithelial cells and is markedly increased in tumors, suggesting a role in intestinal proliferation.

Optimal dilution of the RETN antibody should be determined by the researcher.

A portion of amino acids 19-108 was used as the immunogen for the RETN antibody.

Aliquot the RETN antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
