  • Product overview

    Resistin, a novel adipose-derived protein, has been proposed to cause insulin-resistant states in obesity. Resistin is produced by white and brown adipose tissues but has also has been identified in several other tissues, including the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, myocytes, spleen, white blood cells and plasma. Resistin antagonizes insulin action, and is down regulated by rosiglitazone and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonists. Resistin is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and may play a role in the vascular complications of this disorder. Recently, Resistin has been discussed controversially as a missing link between obesity and insulin resistance.

    ab108900 Resistin Mouse ELISA kit is designed for detection of Mouse Resistin in plasma, tissue, and cell culture supernatants. This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique which measures resistin in 5 hours. A murine monoclonal antibody specific for Resistin has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Resistinin standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for Resistin, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate. All unbound material is then washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
